The French research program MoleculArXiv is organizing its 1st international workshop on April 29-30, 2026, in Rennes, France.

This exploratory research program on information storage on DNA and alternative polymers is unique in that it brings together people with very diverse scientific profiles and sensibilities, working in fields ranging from chemistry to signal theory, microfluidics, sequencing biology, and bioinformatics.

In line with this transdisciplinary project, the aim of the MoleculArXiv workshop is to bring together international researchers from different scientific backgrounds working in the field of data storage based on synthetic DNA or other artificial polymers. The goal is to share recent advances in this field, both from a theoretical and practical perspective. The non-exhaustive list of topics that will be covered during the workshop include:

  • DNA / Polymer synthesis and sequencing
  • Data encoding in DNA / Polymer
  • Source/Channel coding for DNA storage
  • Data retrieval and decoding
  • Molecular Database management & Security
  • Emerging applications and use cases

This workshop is organized with the support of the IRISA laboratory, INRIA and the University of Rennes.
