Abstract
This paper presents a novel thermoconfined polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for multiplexed, repeated random access to compartmentalized DNA files. Biotin-functionalized oligonucleotides are localized within thermoresponsive, semipermeable microcapsules (proteinosomes). At low temperatures, the capsules are permeable, allowing enzymes and primers access; at high temperatures, membrane collapse prevents crosstalk during amplification. The method demonstrates superior performance compared to non-compartmentalized DNA storage, reducing amplification bias and enabling scalable, sequence-agnostic repeated access.
