What this contributes

Introduces an error-tolerant coding approach for DNA file storage and recovery.

The boundary of the evidence

Digital files require deliberate encoding and decoding.

Why it belongs here

Molecular storage deliberately encodes information into DNA or associated molecular states. Research covers writing, error correction, protection and retrieval. This is different from sequencing a natural genome, and different again from acquiring a person's memories.
