Abstract

This paper suggests a message encoding scheme in nucleotide strand for small text les. The proposed scheme leads to ultra high volume data density and depends on adoption of transformation algorithms like, Burrow-Wheeler transformation and Move to Front for generating better context information. Huffman encoding further compresses the transformed text message. We used a mapping function to encode message in nucleotide from the binary strand and tested the suggested scheme on collection of small text size les. The testing result showed the proposed scheme reduced the number of nucleotides for representing text message over existing methods.
