Problem statement
DNA sequencing technologies are generating vast amounts of data. Storing and transmitting this data is a major
challenge. DNA compression algorithms offer a solution. They reduce the size of DNA sequences without losing any
information.
Existing DNA compression methods focus on statistical compression. However, these methods are not always
efficient. They can introduce errors or loss of information. New approaches are needed for effective and accurate
DNA compression.
Introduction to DNA Data
Compression
DNA data compression is essential for storing and transmitting large genomic
datasets. Existing approaches often prioritize speed over compression
efficiency or introduce loss of information. We aim to develop a lossless
compression algorithm tailored for DNA sequences.
Computational Efficiency
Balancing compression performance with feasible processing times,
enabling practical application.
Limitations of Existing Approaches
Traditional compression algorithms, such as Huffman coding and Lempel-Ziv, often struggle with the repetitive
nature of DNA sequences. They may fail to achieve optimal compression ratios or introduce errors in the
compressed data.
Less effective for highly repetitive Can introduce errors in the Limited in its ability to compress
DNA sequences, leading to compressed data, compromising highly variable DNA sequences,
suboptimal compression. data integrity and accuracy. resulting in inefficient
compression.
Reed-Solomon Codes for Lossless DNA
Compression
Reed-Solomon codes are error-correcting codes traditionally used in data storage and transmission. We propose their application to
DNA compression, exploiting their ability to encode data efficiently and detect errors.
DNA Sequence
The input DNA sequence is divided into blocks of nucleotides.
Reed-Solomon Encoding
Each block is encoded using a Reed-Solomon code, introducing redundancy for error
correction.
Data Compression
The encoded blocks are compressed using a suitable compression algorithm, such as
run-length encoding or Huffman coding.
Compressed Data
The compressed data is stored or transmitted, retaining the original DNA sequence
information.
