Abstract

We investigate the problem of encoding arbitrary data into the words of a DNA language that is defined via the subword closure operation, which appears to be useful in various situations related to data encodings. We present a few theoretical results on the subword closure operation as well as an initial implementation of a web-system that computes DNA languages according to the user's parameters, and performs encodings of data into these languages.
