About Iridia
Iridia is a US company working on DNA data storage, which encodes digital information in synthetic DNA instead of magnetic or flash media. It was formerly called Dodo Omnidata. Its approach combines DNA synthesis chemistry, electronic nano-switches and semiconductor fabrication, with the aim of writing, storing and reading data on a single microchip. Press coverage places the company in Carlsbad, California. An early funding round of $24 million was led by LifeSci Venture Partners, with Western Digital Capital among the investors.
