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 MB of data in…
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 from the DNA reliably …
