%0 Journal Article %T 2D Barcode for DNA Encoding %A Elena Purcaru %A Cristian Toma %J Journal of Mobile, Embedded and Distributed Systems %D 2011 %I Bucharest University of Economic Studies %X The paper presents a solution for endcoding/decoding DNA information in 2D barcodes. First part focuses on the existing techniques and symbologies in 2D barcodes field. The 2D barcode PDF417 is presented as starting point. The adaptations and optimizations on PDF417 and on DataMatrix lead to the solution ¨C DNA2DBC ¨C DeoxyriboNucleic Acid Two Dimensional Barcode. The second part shows the DNA2DBC encoding/decoding process step by step. In conclusions are enumerated the most important features of 2D barcode implementation for DNA. %K DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid %K 2D barcode %K DNA2DBC %K PDF417 %K code symbology %U http://www.jmeds.eu/index.php/jmeds/article/view/43
