“Cultivate your data!”

dna-codec-python3 is a Python3 library for encoding and decoding data into DNA sequences; the characters C, G, A, and T are used to represent the binary data.

Created for a future project.

Features

It is capable of encoding and decoding both binary data and text strings into DNA sequences. Formatting is also built-in to separate columns of sequences out for readability.

Theory

As I am a software engineer, not a biologist, I do not know if or how many arbitrary DNA sequences can be shoved into any given cell. Even if this is a ‘toy’ project, this is still a very interesting concept to me.
