DNA-bases storage systems: coding theory and algorithms

Storage and retrieval of information using DNA-based media, in contrast to contemporary digital standards, raises unique challenges related to algorithms, data science, information theory, electrical engineering, biology, and chemistry. Thus, it motivates a fresh and renewed focus on a number of rarely-studied problems in computation and information theory, often in collaboration across many disciplines.

In this talk, I will take an information-theoretic perspective and describe the general channel model. I will delve into a few of its components, presenting pertinent coding-theoretic problems, and the possible approaches to address them.
