Abstract: During the digital revolution there has been an explosion in the amount of data produced by humanity and the capacity of conventional storage devices has been struggling to keep up with this aggressive growth. This has highlighted the need for new means to store digital information, especially cold data. In this dissertations we will build upon the work done by the I3S MediaCoding team on utilizing DNA as a novel storage medium,thanks to its incredibly high information density and effectively infinite shelf life. We will expand on their previous works and adapt them to operate on the Nanopore MinIONsequencer, by increasing the noise resistance during the decoding process, and adding a post-processing step to repair the damage caused by the sequencing noise.
