Effective decoders for DNA codes.

Abstract excerpt

A number of applications use DNA as a storage mechanism. Because processes in these applications may cause errors in the data, the information must be encoded as one of a chosen set of words that are well separated from one another - a DNA error-correcting code. Typically, the types of errors that may occur include insertions, deletions and substitutions of symbols, making the edit metric the most suitable choice...
