Recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of storing digital information in macromolecules such as DNA and protein. However, the DNA storage channel is prone to errors such as deletions, insertions, and substitutions. During the…
Recent work by Smagloy et al. (ISIT 2020) shows that the redundancy of a single-deletion $s$-substitution correcting code is asymptotically at least $(s+1)\log n+o(\log n)$, where $n$ is the length of the codes. They also provide a…
Tandem duplication is the process of inserting a copy of a segment of DNA adjacent to the original position. Motivated by applications that store data in living organisms, Jain et al. (2017) proposed the study of codes that correct tandem…
Due to their sequential nature, traditional DNA synthesis methods are expensive in terms of time and resources. They also fabricate multiple copies of the same strand, introducing redundancy. This redundancy can be leveraged to enhance the…
