Survey of Information Encoding Techniques for DNA

This comprehensive review focuses on comparing existing work done in encoding arbitrary data within DNA in terms of their encoding schemes, methods to address biological constraints, and measures to provide error correction.

Efficient DNA-based data storage using shortmer combinatorial encoding

A novel approach for DNA-based data storage, offering a 6.5-fold increase in logical density over standard DNA-based storage systems, with near zero reconstruction error, is introduced.

Data Storage Based on Combinatorial Synthesis of DNA Shortmers

A novel method to encode information into DNA molecules using combinatorial encoding and shortmer DNA synthesis, in compatibility with current chemical DNA synthesis technologies is proposed, based on a set of easily distinguishable DNA shortmers serving as building blocks and allowing for near-zero error rates.

Dynamic and scalable DNA-based information storage

It is shown that a simple architecture comprised of a T7 promoter and a single-stranded overhang domain (ss-dsDNA), can unlock dynamic DNA-based information storage with powerful capabilities and advantages.

High capacity DNA data storage with variable-length Oligonucleotides using repeat accumulate code and hybrid mapping

This work devised and implemented a DNA data storage scheme with variable-length oligonucleotides (oligos), where a hybrid DNA mapping scheme that converts digital data to DNA records is introduced and a oligo-level repeat-accumulate coding scheme is employed for addressing data loss and corruption in the biochemical processes.

High-scale random access on DNA storage systems

This work proposes a general-purpose technique for addressing and directly accessing thousands to potentially millions of different data objects within the same DNA pool, and utilizes a fountain code, sophisticated probe design, and microarray technologies.

A high storage density strategy for digital information based on synthetic DNA

The proposed strategy introduces quaternary Huffman coding to compress the binary stream of an original file before it is converted into a DNA sequence and can gain a very high compression ratio for files with a non-uniform probability distribution of the source.

Enzymatic DNA synthesis for digital information storage

A de novo enzymatic DNA synthesis strategy designed from the bottom-up for information storage is established, and a template-independent DNA polymerase is harnessed for controlled synthesis of sequences with user-defined information content.

DNA Data Storage in Perl

The results indicate that textual data can be stored in DNA using a simple, easy, and flexible Perl by running a script from the command line.

Towards practical, high-capacity, low-maintenance information storage in synthesized DNA

Theoretical analysis indicates that the DNA-based storage scheme could be scaled far beyond current global information volumes and offers a realistic technology for large-scale, long-term and infrequently accessed digital archiving.

A DNA-Based Archival Storage System

An architecture for a DNA-based archival storage system is presented, structured as a key-value store, and leverages common biochemical techniques to provide random access, and a new encoding scheme is proposed that offers controllable redundancy, trading off reliability for density.

A Rewritable, Random-Access DNA-Based Storage System

This work describes the first DNA-based storage architecture that enables random access to data blocks and rewriting of information stored at arbitrary locations within the blocks and suggests that DNA is a versatile media suitable for both ultrahigh density archival and rewritable storage applications.

Forward Error Correction for DNA Data Storage

Robust chemical preservation of digital information on DNA in silica with error-correcting codes.
