Despite the importance of programming to modern society, the cognitive and neural bases of code comprehension are largely unknown. Programming languages might ‘recycle’ neurocognitive mechanisms originally used for natural languages. Alternatively, comprehension of code could depend on fronto-parietal networks shared…

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…

Quantum biology is an emergent field that investigates quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition, tunneling, and entanglement, in the context of data manipulation from living systems. The exploration and engineering of nucleotide sequences rely on quantum mechanical principles, particularly the use of qubit…

DNA has been pursued as a compelling medium for digital data storage during the past decade. While large-scale data storage and random access have been achieved in artificial DNA, the synthesis cost keeps hindering DNA data storage from popularizing into daily life. In this study, we proposed a more efficient paradigm…

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 efficient coding hypothesis presents a compelling success story for theoretical and systems neuroscience. It marshals a unifying idea, that neural codes can be understood as efficient encodings of natural stimuli, to explain phenomena from across sensory systems, sometimes with exquisite precision. However, similar…

We describe a strategy for constructing codes for DNA-based information storage by serial composition of weighted finite-state transducers. The resulting state machines can integrate correction of substitution errors; synchronization by interleaving watermark and periodic marker signals; conversion from binary to…

Chamaeleo is currently the only collection library that focuses on adapting multiple well-established coding schemes for DNA storage. It provides a tool for researchers to study various coding schemes and apply them in practice. Chamaeleo adheres to the concept of high aggregation and low coupling for software design…

The Monty Hall problem is a decision problem with an answer that is surprisingly counter-intuitive yet provably correct. Here we simulate and prove this decision in a high-throughput DNA sequencing machine, using a simple encoding. All possible scenarios are represented by DNA oligonucleotides, and gameplay decisions…

Silicon-based computing faces limitations in energy consumption, parallelism and the possibility to interact with living systems, prompting interest in biomolecular alternatives such as DNA computing. Here we present Brownian DNA computing that uses coupled molecular balances to form a molecular processing unit (MPU)…
