a Percentage of Successful Decoding Attempts at a Given IDS Error Ratio. We simulated the recovery when storing 5 KB of data, where the mean coverage rate was 15x, and the proportion of substitution, deletion, and insertion error rates was 13: 31: 6. For a fair comparison, the DNA Fountain code and DNA-Aeon code were configured to have similar code rates and GC content constraints as the DNA StairLoop. b Impact of Decoded bit recovery rate at Single Error Rate. This parallel simulation was conducted on a supercomputer, with the number of blocks for DNA StairLoop set to 4000. c Iterative Decoding Process. d Impact of Iterative Decoding on Recovery Rate. e Parallel Decoding Process. f Impact of Increasing Parallel Nodes on Decoding Time and Accuracy. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
