Description
Schouhamer Immink, Weber, and Cai analyze special codes for writing data into DNA in this 2024 paper. DNA data storage synthesizes many strands in parallel. Codes that limit strand weight can shorten synthesis time and cut cost.
The authors study maxentropic low-weight codes, which pack the most information under a weight limit. They derive the redundancy and information rate of these codes for very long codewords. They compare the codes with simpler nibble replacement codes designed to minimize synthesis time. Finally, they examine codes that also limit run lengths. The results help designers of DNA storage systems weigh coding efficiency against synthesis speed.
