Abstract
A DNA-based storage system includes an error correction system operable to: (a) identify a DNA codeword from a DNA sequencing operation; (b) calculate an initial syndrome weight; (c) determine that the initial syndrome weight is greater than a predetermined threshold; (d) perform an alignment alteration in the information segment by: (i) selecting a skew point within the information segment; (ii) performing an indel operation on the information segment at the skew point; (iii) calculating a modified syndrome weight; (iv) comparing the initial syndrome weight with the modified syndrome weight; and (v) incorporating the indel operation into the information segment when the comparing indicates an improvement in the modified syndrome weight; (e) decode the modified codeword; and (f) transmit the contents of the output file to a computing device, the output file representing user data stored within the DNA molecule.
