Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence, computer simulation, and modeling are of great importance in understanding biological problems. Nowadays, artificial intelligence and mathematical modeling are becoming more important in biology and medicine.

This Special Issue aims to focus on the contributions of mathematical models in biological research.

This Special Issue seeks papers with novel ideas. By modeling or simulating intricate biological systems, articles should offer fresh biological, biochemical or medicinal insights. Studies that combine computational, theoretical, or both experimental and computational methods are invited. Studies describing integrative research in mathematics, statistics, medicine, and biological systems are also encouraged, as well as contributions that discuss cutting-edge computational, theoretical, and mathematical approaches to solving pertinent biological problems. Authors are invited to contribute to this Special Issue on many facets of artificial intelligence creation, study, and use in current biological and medical applications.

As data continue to grow in complexity and size, there is an imperative need for more efficient and robust storage solutions. DNA storage has emerged as a promising avenue to solve this problem, but existing approaches do not perform efficiently enough on video data, particularly for information density and time efficiency. This paper introduces VSD, a pioneering encoding method for video segmentation and storage in DNA, leveraging the Reed–Solomon (RS) error correction code. This method addresses these limitations through an innovative combination of segmentation and encoding, accompanied by RS coding to bolster error resilience. Additionally, the method ensures that the GC-content of the resultant DNA sequences remains around 50%, which further enhances the storage robustness. The experimental results demonstrate the method has commendable encoding efficiency and offers a solution to the prevailing issue of time inefficiency and error correction rates in DNA storage. This groundbreaking approach paves the way for the practical and reliable storage of large-scale video data in DNA, heralding a new era in the domain of information storage. Full article
