Through a collaborative effort by multiple teams at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the "Bisheng-1" DNA Movable Type Inkjet Printer has been developed. This innovative system draws inspiration from the ancient logic of movable type printing and represents a groundbreaking advancement in DNA storage technology. Unlike traditional block printing methods, Bisheng-1 offers unparalleled reusability and flexibility. Its core feature, DNA movable types, can encode information and be stored in a variety of ways. This printer is capable of storing multiple data files and decoding them with precision. A single DNA movable type in the initial system can be reused numerous times, resulting in lower storage costs and higher printing efficiency. Furthermore, the time required for this process is significantly less than that of de novo synthesis technology.
