DNA has emerged as a compelling archival storage medium, offering unprecedented information density and millennia-scale durability. Despite its promise, DNA-based data storage faces critical challenges due to error-prone processes during DNA synthesis, storage, and sequencing. In this study, we introduce Gungnir, a…

Great excitement has surrounded our ability to decode task information from human brain activity patterns, reinforcing the dominant view of the brain as an information processor. We tested a fundamental but overlooked assumption: that such decodable information is actually used by the brain to generate cognition and…

Composite DNA letters, by merging all four DNA nucleotides in specified ratios, offer a pathway to substantially increase the logical density of DNA digital storage (DDS) systems. However, these letters are susceptible to nucleotide errors and sampling bias, leading to a high letter error rate, which complicates…

'Weihua Pan' 'Jue Ruan'] Title: ABSTRACT Error-correcting codes (ECCs) employed in the state-of-the-art DNA digital storage (DDS) systems suffer from a trade-off between error-correcting capability and the proportion of redundancy. To address this issue, in this study, we introduce soft-decision decoding approach into…

—We present an interpretation of Deepcode, a learned feedback code that showcases higher-order error correction relative to an earlier interpretable model [1]. By interpretation, we mean succinct analytical encoder and decoder expressions (albeit with learned parameters) in which the role of feedback in achieving error…

—The binary primitive BCH codes are cyclic and are constructed by choosing a subset of the cyclotomic cosets. Which subset is chosen determines the dimension, the minimum distance and the weight distribution of the BCH code. We construct possible BCH codes and determine their coderate, true minimum distance and the…

In communication technologies such as digital watermarking, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and visual light communication (VLC), error-correcting codes are crucial. The Enhanced Hadamard Error-Correcting Code (EHC), which is based on 2D Hadamard Basis Images, is a novel error correction technique that is presented in…

—Sequential decoding, commonly applied to substitution channels, is a sub-optimal alternative to Viterbi decoding with significantly reduced memory costs. In this work, a sequential decoder for convolutional codes over channels that are prone to insertion, deletion, and substitution errors, is described and analyzed.…

Staircase codes play an important role as error-correcting codes in optical communications. In this paper, a low-complexity method for resolving stall patterns when decoding staircase codes is described. Stall patterns are the dominating contributor to the error floor in the original decoding method. Our improvement is…

As magnetization and semiconductor based storage technologies approach their limits, bio-molecules, such as DNA, have been identified as promising media for future storage systems, due to their high storage density (petabytes/gram) and long-term durability (thousands of years). Furthermore, nanopore DNA sequencing…

Background Barcode multiplexing is a key strategy for sharing the rising capacity of next-generation sequencing devices: Synthetic DNA tags, called barcodes, are attached to natural DNA fragments within the library preparation procedure. Different libraries, can individually be labeled with barcodes for a joint…

In this paper we provide a detailed description of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, the most important algorithms for decoding them, and their use in concatenated coding systems for space applications. In the current literature there is scattered information regarding the bit-level implementation of such codes for either space…

Today's digital data storage systems typically offer advanced data recovery solutions to address the problem of catastrophic data loss, such as software-based disk sector analysis or physical-level data retrieval methods for conventional hard disk drives. However, DNA-based data storage currently relies solely on the…

The persistent storage of big data requires advanced error correction schemes. The classical approach is to use error correcting codes (ECCs). This work studies an alternative approach, which uses the redundancy inherent in data itself for error correction. This type of redundancy, called Natural Redundancy (NR), is…

As nanopore technology reaches ever higher throughput and accuracy, it becomes an increasingly viable candidate for reading out DNA data storage. Nanopore sequencing offers considerable flexibility by allowing long reads, real-time signal analysis, and the ability to read both DNA and RNA. We need flexible and…

The diversity and scope of multiplex parallel sequencing applications is steadily increasing. Critically, multiplex parallel sequencing applications methods rely on the use of barcoded primers for sample identification, and the quality of the barcodes directly impacts the quality of the resulting sequence data.…

—Two concatenated coding schemes based on fixedrate Raptor codes are proposed for error control in NAND flash memory. One is geared for off-line recovery of uncorrectable pages and the other is designed for page error correction during the normal read mode. Both proposed coding strategies assume harddecision decoding…

The discovery of chemically novel or structurally anomalous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential for expanding reticular design space and enhancing dataset reliability. We present CHEM-AD (Chemically Unusual Metal–organic Frameworks via Autoencoder-based Detection), a label-free, CPU-efficient pipeline that…
