Abstract
Example systems and methods for embedding an oligo index in a series of reference marks along the oligo for DNA data storage are described. A data unit may be encoded in oligos that include reference marks at predetermined intervals along the length of each oligo that encode the oligo index, generally in multiple copies encoded with varying symmetries. During decoding, the reference marks may be analyzed through multiple correlation matrices to determine a most likely set of values for the oligo index. In some configurations, the same reference marks may be processed through another correlation matrix to determine and correct insertions and deletions based on multiple copies of the oligo, as identified by the decoded oligo indices in those copies.
