US Patent 12014256 Polysaccharide archival storage

One example method includes encoding data as a polysaccharide structure, synthesizing the polysaccharide structure to create polysaccharide storage media that comprises the data, and storing the polysaccharide storage media. The example method may also include receiving a read request directed to the polysaccharide storage media, mapping the polysaccharide structure to create a map in response to the read request, traversing the map of the polysaccharide structure to determine an X-base number, and obtaining the data by converting the X-base number to a binary form.
