ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,326,805, issued on June 10, was assigned to Western Digital Technologies Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Calibrating state transition probabilities associated with a DNA-based storage system to optimize decoding" was invented by David Avraham (Even Yehuda, Israel), Ran Zamir (Ramat Gan, Israel) and Alexander Bazarsky (Holon, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A DNA-based storage system uses a set of initial state transition probabilities during a decoding process in which a DNA codeword is decoded. After a threshold number of decoding iterations of the decoding process have been executed, at least one initial state transition probability of...
