Whether it is a cute familypicture, a funny cat video, or a scientic paper, all of the data is stored. The challenge in datastorage nowadays is about nding a way to store a lot of data, in such a way that it will staypreserved for many years without too much maintenance and such that if errors occur, the datacan still be retrieved. DNA is a great choice for this, since the DNA from extinct species thatlived 10,000 years ago can still be retrieved, it does not need maintenance and it is estimated thatit can store 5 PB per gram [2]. However, in reading and writing DNA, substitution, insertionand deletion errors occur, so the data needs to be protected against these errors. Therefore,several coding methods have already been invented and researched. Takahasi et al. [1] designeda full automated system for writing, storing and reading data, which consisted only of the wordhello, using DNA.This thesis focuses on the coding method used by [1], namely a Hamming code, and comparesit to the implementation of a DNA based Reed-Solomon code, applied to the same data. Ananalysis is made based on the net information density, GC-weight, homopolymer runs andthe error detection and correction properties. As expected, there is a trade-o between thenet information density and the error detection and correction properties. Although the netinformation density of the Reed-Solomon code is lower, it can correct more errors and it has thepotential of also being applied to a bigger data set.
