It involves encoding, insertion, deletion, and substitution (IDS) channels for data synthesis and sequencing, and decoding processes. The IDS channels that feature multiple output sequences are prone to IDS errors, complicating the decoding process and degrading the performance of DNA data storage. To address this issue, we investigate effective IDS error correction algorithms considering two encoding schemes in DNA data storage. Specifically in the encoding process, we use marker codes (MC) and embedded marker codes (EMC) as inner codes, respectively, both connected to low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes as outer codes. First, we propose the segmented progressive matching (SPM) algorithm to infer the consensus sequence from multiple output sequences, thereby facilitating the decoding processes. Moreover, when using MC as the inner code, we propose a synchronous decoding algorithm based on the Hidden Markov Model (SDH) to infer the a posteriori probability (APP) of base symbols, which supports the external decoding algorithm. Furthermore, when the inner code is EMC, we propose the iterative external decoding (IED) algorithm. IED integrates synchronous decoding with embedded normalized min-sum decoding (ENMS) to achieve an enhanced APP for external decoding, enabling lower bit-error rate (BER) transmission. Meanwhile, we reduce the complexity of the external decoder by minimizing checksum node computations. Comparing the two schemes reveals that the SDH algorithm with MC as the inner code offers a lightweight solution for DNA data storage. In contrast, the IED with EMC demonstrates superior decoding performance with a linear complexity scale by the number of iterations.

Leveraging the superior performance of the low-mapping algorithm, we further developed a direct decision algorithm that further simplifies the decoding algorithm by omitting the traditional minimum distance decision-making steps. Furthermore, this study delves into the impact of modulus selection on RRNS decoding performance and provides guidelines for optimizing code construction.

The Cardiac Troponins I (cTnI) is identified as a biomarker of interest for early and rapid diagnosis of CVD. The proposed SPF biosensor exhibits surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) detection due to the evanescent field interaction between MoWS2 nano coated side polished region and anti-CTnI.

The peak SPR shift have been calculated as 61 nm for analyte concentrations of 500 pg/mL Moreover, the proposed SPF biosensor possess the high degree of selectivity and environmental stability to CTnI among three analytes such as CTnI, Estrogen and Glucose. The hydrophobic interactions of MoWS2 and cTnI antibody leads to chemical free biofunctionalization of antibody in the sensing region. Hence, the simulation results shows the surface interaction strength calculated as 1.29 KJ mol−1/nm2 in order to evaluate the hydrophobic interactions.
