Hamming code is normally used for transmission of 7-bit data item. Scaling it for larger data lengths results in a lot of overhead due to interspersing the redundancy bits and their removal later.

Hamming code is a linear error-correcting code widely used in memory and telecommunication. For the first time, here we put forth an approach to analyzing Hamming codes in hardware using networks ...

Implementation of Hamming code for error detection and correction. This Python application encodes/decodes text files using the 'ASCII -> binary -> Hamming code' scheme, allowing variable information ...

My guess is that the issue might be related to adapter trimming — since the short-read data contains adapters, and I may have overlooked this step. I plan to run FastQC for further quality assessment ...
