Abstract:
DNA, as the material carrier of genetic information, holds significant research value across diverse fields including life sciences, chemistry, and information science. Recent advancements in DNA-related fundamental and applied research such as pathogen detection, individual identification, disease diagnosis, synthetic biology, and DNA data storage have necessitated the development of methods for long-term, large-scale, stable, and convenient extracellular preservation of DNA samples. Therefore, exploring appropriate DNA preservation strategies to achieve high-quality storage is critical for advancing DNA-based studies. This review summarizes recent progress in extracellular DNA preservation technologies,focusing on chemical stabilizers, novel materials, and cryopreservation techniques. The underlying mechanisms, key characteristics, and application potential of these approaches were analyzed, aiming to provide insights for developing novel technologies to enhance DNA preservation efficiency and reliability.
