Optimizing fountain codes for DNA data storage.

ABSTRACT: Fountain codes, originally developed for reliable multicasting in communication networks, are effectively applied in various data transmission and storage systems. Their recent use in DNA data storage systems has unique challenges, since the DNA storage channel deviates from the traditional Gaussian white noise erasure model considered in communication networks and has several restrictions as well as special properties. Thus, optimizing fountain codes to address these challenges promises to improve their overall usability in DNA data storage systems. In this article, we present several methods for optimizing fountain codes for DNA data storage. Apart from generally applicable optimizations for fountain codes, we propose optimization algorithms to create tailored distribution functions of f
