  DNA storage faces challenges in ensuring data reliability in the presence of
edit errors -- deletions, insertions, and substitutions -- that occur randomly
during various phases of the storage process. Current limitations in DNA
synthesis technology also require the use of short DNA sequences, highlighting
the particular need for short edit-correcting codes. Motivated by these
factors, we introduce a systematic code designed to correct random edits while
adhering to typical length constraints in DNA storage. We evaluate the
performance of the code through simulations and assess its effectiveness within
a DNA storage framework, revealing promising results.
