DNA error-correction coding

The codec layer that makes an inherently lossy molecular medium reliable; benchmarked schemes tolerate error rates near 14% and sequence loss up to 65% in isolation, with lower usable densities in realistic deployment.

Where it's used

Biocomputing and DNA computing
Computation and storage carried out in molecules and living tissue rather than silicon — DNA archives with in-sequencer random access, error-correction codecs tolerating error rates near 14% and sequence loss up to 65%, genetic circuits implementing half and full adders, and biohybrid systems that compute with slime mould and fungal networks.
