The present invention relates to an encoding method and an decoding method for performing
information storage by means of
DNA. Different from a conventional computer magnetic medium, an information write-in mode of
DNA storage is that after information is encoded, an
oligonucleotide chain with a certain length is synthesized by utilizing an
oligonucleotide chain synthesis technology and the synthesized
oligonucleotide chain is stored in a
powder form; and a reading technology of
DNA storage is that the oligonucleotide chain is sequenced by utilizing a high-
throughput sequencing technology and after being spliced, sequenced fragments are transcoded, so that an initial computer
multimedia file can be restored. Due to the characteristics of the DNA oligonucleotide chain, in the design of an encoding mode, a
random error possibly existing in the
DNA synthesis and sequencing process can be taken into full consideration, and error
authentication and multiple cover segment are performed on the DNA fragments. The encoding method for
a DNA storage technology, which is constructed by the present invention, is simple, convenient and easy to operate and can be applied to transform the computer
multimedia files in various formats into DNA sequences so as to perform
information storage.
