The statistical values are incorrect in the Results and Discussion section. The last four sentences of the fourth paragraph should read: Since in this case we have 255 possibilities, an upperbound is 293,760 codewords to be tested. Now, since there is always one nucleotide difference, we have to realize three times 511 tests for each one of the 293,760 codewords. Therefore, yielding a total of 450:33|10 test to be realized. Thus, the probability of finding a given sequence is 2:21|10, that is, approximately 1 sequence out of 10. The second equation in the fifth paragraph should be:
