FMG: An observable DNA storage coding method based on frequency matrix game graphs.

Using complex biomolecules for storage is a new carbon-based storage method. For example, DNA has the potential to be a good method for archival long-term data storage. Reasonable and efficient coding is the first and most important step in DNA storage. However, current coding methods, such as altruism algorithm, have the problem of low coding efficiency and high complexity, and coding constraints and sets make it difficult to see the coding results visually. In this study, a new DNA storage coding method based on frequency matrix game graph (FMG) is proposed to generate DNA storage coding satisfying combinatorial constraints. Compared with the randomness of the heuristic algorithm that satisfies the constraints, the coding method based on the FMG is deterministic and can clearly explain the coding process. In addition, the constraints and coding results have observable characteristics and are better than the previously published results for the size of the coding set. For example, when length of the code n = 10, hamming distance d = 4, the results obtained by proposed approach combining chaos game and graph are 24% better than the previous results. The proposed coding scheme successfully constructs high-quality coding sets with less complexity, which effectively promotes the development of carbon-based storage coding.
