Popis: The problem of correcting deletions has received significant attention, partly because of the prevalence of these errors in DNA data storage. In this paper, we study the problem of correcting a consecutive burst of at most $t$ deletions in non-binary sequences. We first propose a non-binary code correcting a burst of at most 2 deletions for $q$-ary alphabets. Afterwards, we extend this result to the case where the length of the burst can be at most $t$ where $t$ is a constant. Finally, we consider the setup where the sequences that are transmitted are permutations. The proposed codes are the largest known for their respective parameter regimes.
