Abstract
The deletion channel takes as input a bit string x ∊ {0,1}^n, and deletes each bit independently with probability q, yielding a shorter string. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover an unknown string x ∊ from many independent outputs (called traces) of the deletion channel applied to x.We show that if x is drawn uniformly at random and q
