DESCRIPTION:I will explain the information theoretic analysis of DNA stora
 ge channels done by David MacKay last summer and show an alternative appro
 ach by modelling the channel as a Z-channel. I will show that the capacity
  formulas obtained for both channels are equivalent for when the number of
  DNA packets stored is small in comparison to the total number of possible
  DNA packets. Finally\, I will speculate on how to extend this result from
  the current simple "noiseless" packet loss model to the noisy channel cas
 e where DNA packets may be recovered with alterations.
