On the coding capacity of reverse-complement and palindromic duplication-correcting codes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We derive the coding capacity for duplication-correcting codes capable of correcting any number of duplications. We do so both for reverse-complement duplications, as well as palindromic (reverse) duplications. We show that except for duplication-length 1, the coding capacity is 0. When the duplication length is 1, the coding capacity depends on the alphabet size, and we construct optimal codes.
