Due to the redundant nature of DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies, a basic model for a DNA storage system is a multi-draw "shuffling-sampling" channel. In this model, a random number of noisy copies of each sequence is observed at…

We investigate the capacity of noisy frequency-based channels, motivated by DNA data storage in the short-molecule regime, where information is encoded in the frequency of items types rather than their order. The channel output is a…
