Abstract: “This paper describes a novel approach and techniques to encode and decode DNA sequences into Binary data. This approach uses a series of steps to effectively encode and decode DNA sequences with low error-rate. The DNA encoding schema designed is responsible for converting data into a valid DNA sequence. Synthetic DNA is artificially made in laboratories using different methodologies and thus can be made available in large quantities. The problem lies in effectively converting data that is understood by computers into data that can be understood by DNA.“
