Tight Bounds for String Reconstruction Using Substring Queries
We resolve two open problems presented in [8]. First, we consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown string T over a fixed alphabet using queries of the form “does the st...

Reconstructing Strings from Substrings in Rounds
We establish a variety of combinatorial bounds on the tradeo s inherent in reconstructing strings using few rounds of a given number of substring queries per round. These results ...

Sequencing by Hybridization in Few Rounds
Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH) is a method for reconstructing an unknown DNA string based on obtaining, through hybridization experiments, whether certain short strings appear ...

Cost-based variable-length-gram selection for string collections to support approximate queries efficiently
Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...

The approximability of the String Barcoding problem
The String Barcoding (SBC) problem, introduced by Rash and Gusfield (RECOMB, 2002), consists in finding a minimum set of substrings that can be used to distinguish between all mem...
