Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for compressing DNA data based on a binary image. The method for compressing DNA data based on a binary image includes splitting DNA data including adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and an indefinite base (N) into a plurality of binary images, determining a coding mode of each of the binary images according to characteristics of each of the binary images, and first coding each of the binary images based on the determined coding mode.
