This research project seeks to construct insertion/deletion error correcting codes for multi-symbol alphbets using number-theoretic techniques and develop encoding/decoding algorithms for such codes to utilize in applications such as DNA barcoding and tree codes for interactive communication.
2. Find encoding/decoding algorithms for such codes.
3. Develop DNA barcodes based on quaternary Helberg codes.
4.. Develop tree codes for interactive communication
