| Summary: | The DNA compression technique is only applicable to DNA files that are
stored in a text file. It cannot be applied to other file types. The aim of this
research is to find a technique so that the other file types can be compressed with
GenCompress DNA compression technique. It is achieved by converting the
binary into DNA format. Also, this research aim is to compare GenCompress and
WinRAR�s compression result.
The conversion process changes the binary into DNA strands according to
the following rules. 00 is changed into �a�, 01 is changed into �c�, 10 is changed
into �g�, 11 is changed into �t�, and vice versa. Some sample types that used in this
research are avi, bmp, exe, wav, txt files, image pattern in bmp, and Brodatz
dataset.
The other file types can be compressed using GenCompress once the
conversion process is done. GenCompress is able to produce better compression
when the file contains some fixed-length repetition, while WinRAR is able to
produce better compression when the file contains some variable-length
repetition. The compression time does not only depend on the file size, but also
depends on the file content. GenDecompress is not successfully decompressed the
exe files and any pattern image that has a long repeat on the file content.
