We can use certain methods to avoid this error and perfectly utilize the storage efficiency that DNA molecules should have.
"Add error-correcting codes to the DNA for storing data. This is done through a storage model where the dataset is represented by a set of unordered M sequences, each of length L. Errors in this model are the loss of the entire sequence and point errors within the sequence, such as insertions, deletions, and substitutions."
In this storage model, we derive the Gilbert-Varshamov lower bound and the sphere upper bound of the realizable cardinality of the error-correcting code.
Furthermore, a clear code structure was proposed to correct errors in this type of storage system that can be efficiently encoded and decoded.
(The above is very simple. It is adapted from a review article on DNA storage technology in Volume 7 of National Science Review in 2020, with major simplifications.)
The essence of biological storage technology is to utilize the characteristic that DNA has four different types of bases to store information.
The laboratory products independently developed by Bluestar sound wonderful, but they have many problems.
The biggest problem lies in reading and writing information. Reading is relatively easy, but writing information into DNA molecules is quite complex. Such devices are expensive and difficult to use. If you ask an ordinary person to write information into DNA molecules, they would need at least several months of training.
Others need months of training to use DNA storage, so I might as well use a hard drive.
Merlin's biological storage technology is a product that can be directly applied to large-scale commercial use.
More importantly, Merlin provided a pathway in his technical documentation to allow magic to influence matter at a microscopic level, a fact that scientists recognized as the most valuable aspect.
China and Russia jointly established a research and development team, which needs to reproduce the biological storage technology in reality as soon as possible, while also conducting research on the topic of how magic affects the microscopic world.
Merlin's bio-storage technology, after expert evaluation, revealed that key steps require the use of magic.
Therefore, the R&D team does not need to have such high requirements for confidentiality; key information only needs to be kept confidential.
Of course, confidentiality agreements should still be signed.
This includes how to read and write DNA molecular information and how to avoid erroneous writing.
We need to use some entirely new material here.
The equipment for creating this new material requires mages to exert control over key components at a microscopic level using their will.
Therefore, as long as this step is blocked, without a spell model and implementation path, it will be useless even if others obtain all other technologies.
It's all for nothing if you can't produce this material.

In April, DeepBlue Memory Co., Ltd., jointly established by China and Russia, was officially launched, and senior executives from Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. were directly transferred to the company to take up the position.
Originally, China wanted to name it Kunpeng Storage, but the name had already been used by Hua Weixian, and considering Russia's involvement, using an animal from classical Chinese mythology was not a good idea.
In the end, everyone compromised and named it Deep Blue Storage.
