Improved Coding over Sets for DNA-Based Data Storage (2009.08816v2)
Published 18 Sep 2020 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: Error-correcting codes over sets, with applications to DNA storage, are studied. The DNA-storage channel receives a set of sequences, and produces a corrupted version of the set, including sequence loss, symbol substitution, symbol insertion/deletion, and limited-magnitude errors in symbols. Various parameter regimes are studied. New bounds on code parameters are provided, which improve upon known bounds. New codes are constructed, at times matching the bounds up to lower-or der terms or small constant factors.
