Due to the increasing demand for price efficient long-term storage media, over the last decade, unconventional platforms such as the DNA memory have been developed. Every novel medium, however, brings up new problems. Biological systems have specific characteristics that lead to errors in the DNA medium that differ from the ones that occur in the digital systems. Their frequency and distribution also vary. To address these problems accordingly, new error detecting and correcting codes should be developed. Herein, we present non-overlapping codes that are used to access the data stored in DNA memory, and describe a method to construct a large address space of a biological storage device.
