  1. NIST statistical tests performed on processed synthesized DNA oligonucleotides, mapped to bits using the scheme A → 0, C → 0, T → 1, G → 1. For each test, 56 bit streams containing 1096 bits were tested.
  2. aException for the rank test: 56 bit streams containing 100,000 bits each were tested.
