Fig. 2: Code rate comparison: required code rate (information nucleotides divided by total nucleotides encoded) for successful decoding 100 out of 100 tries for a given BER.

a using the output constraints of a GC content of 40–60% in 10 bp long intervals and a maximum homopolymer length of 3, b with output constraints of a GC content of \(33.\overline{3}\%\) to \(66.\overline{6}\%\) in 12 bp long intervals and a maximum homopolymer length of 4. Points represent the results of the simulations, while dashed lines are interpolated values. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
