DNA data storage is a promising technology that utilizes computer simulation and offers high-density and durable digital information storage. It is challenging to store massive image data in a small amount of DNA without losing the original data since nonspecific hybridization errors occur frequently and severely affect the durability of stored data. This work proposes a novel approach (RFS-codec) comprising an image fraction strategy and an innovative codec method to split and encode image data into DNA storage, respectively. The fraction strategy contributes by delivering a cost-effective solution for image storage in DNA. The codec method offers an encryption mechanism to convert binary d... More >
