Abstract
Example systems and methods for using synchronization marks to correct insertions and deletions for DNA data storage are described. A data unit may be encoded in oligos that include synchronization marks at predetermined intervals along the length of each oligo. During decoding, the synchronization marks may improve identification and isolation of insertions and deletions for correction of symbol alignment prior to error correction code decoding. In some configurations, correlation analysis may be used to improve isolation of insertions and deletions where multiple copies of the same oligo are available.
