Motivated by DNA-based storage applications, we study the problem of reconstructing a coded sequence from multiple traces. We consider the model where the traces are outputs of independent deletion channels, where each channel deletes each…

In this paper, we derive an expression for the expected number of runs in a trace of a binary sequence $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ obtained by passing $x$ through a deletion channel that independently deletes each bit with probability $q$. We use…

In the trace reconstruction problem, one seeks to reconstruct a binary string $s$ from a collection of traces, each of which is obtained by passing $s$ through a deletion channel. It is known that $\exp(\tilde O(n^{1/5}))$ traces suffice to…
