| Popis: | Recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of storing digital information in macromolecules such as DNA and protein. However, the DNA storage channel is prone to errors such as deletions, insertions, and substitutions. During the synthesis and reading phases of DNA strings, many noisy copies of the original string are generated. The problem of recovering the original string from these noisy copies is known as sequence reconstruction. A key concept in this problem is the error ball, which is the set of all possible sequences that can result from a limited number of errors applied to the original sequence. Levenshtein showed that the minimum number of noisy copies required for a given channel to recover the original sequence is equal to one plus the maximum size of the intersection of two error balls. Therefore, deriving the size of the error ball for any channel and any sequence is essential for solving the sequence reconstruction problem. In DNA storage systems, multiple types of errors such as deletion, insertion and substitution in a string could occur simultaneously. In this work, we aim to derive the size of the error ball for channels with multiple types of errors and at most three edits. Specifically, we consider the channels with single-deletion double-substitution, single-deletion double-insertion and single-insertion single-substitution errors. Comment: 17 pages |
