TL;DR: A large library of primers are designed and validated that enable individual recovery of all files stored within the DNA, and an algorithm is developed that greatly reduces the sequencing read coverage required for error-free decoding by maximizing information from all sequence reads.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the problem of detecting the presence of an underlying high-dimensional geometric structure in a random graph, where each vertex corresponds to a latent independent random vector uniformly distributed on the sphere Sd−1 and two vertices are connected if the corresponding latent vectors are close enough.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated successful decoding of 1.67 megabytes of information stored in short fragments of synthetic DNA using a portable nanopore sequencing platform with an assembly strategy for increased throughput.

TL;DR: An analysis of traffic to websites known for publishing fake news in the months preceding the 2016 US presidential election finds that social media was the primary outlet for the circulation of fake news stories and aggregate voting patterns were strongly correlated with the average daily fraction of users visiting websites serving fake news.

TL;DR: This work presents a novel distributed algorithm for approximately computing the underlying clusters of DNA sequences that achieves higher accuracy and a 1000x speedup on three real datasets.
