With decreasing costs for DNA synthesis and sequencing, ultra-dense DNA storage is an emerging, viable technology. The original proof of concept [1]-[3] has yielded several experiments of larger scale demonstrating archival storage in DNA molecules [4]-[7]. In particular, a recent collaboration by Harvard and Technicolor announced the storage of 22...

Focusing on error-correction methods and codes, a systems level design is presented for encoding movies and digital information in DNA storage. A source of data (e.g., movies, audio) is compressed, efficiently encoded with redundant information, modulated, and stored in multiple DNA oligonucleotide strands. The goal is to decode the source...
