Yonatan Yehezkeally - DNA-bases Storage Systems: Coding Theory and Algorithms
Storage (and retrieval) of information over DNA-based media raises unique challenges in contrast to contemporary digital standards, on many levels: algorithmic, computer/data scientific, information theoretic, (bio- and electrical-)engineering, biologic (and chemical). Thus, fresh (and renewed) focus on a number of rarely-studied problems in computation and information theory is necessitated, in coordination with partners from all of these disciplines. In this talk, we take an information-theoretic perspective and outline the general channel model.
