Similarly to the digital domain, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measure to assess the performance of theDNA-based retrieval scheme in terms of database size and source statistics is defined. With approximations, it is shown that the SNR of any finite sizeDNA-based database is upper bounded by the SNR of an infinitely large one with the same source distribution. Computer simulations are presented to validate the theoretical outcomes. date: 2007-09 date_type: published publication: 2007 European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO-2007), Pozna\'n, Polland, September 3-7, 200 pagerange: 1561-1567 event_title: 15th European signal processing conference event_location: Poznan, Poland event_dates: 3-7 September 2007 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE official_url: http://eurasip.org/Proceedings/Eusipco/Eusipco2007/Papers/C3L-E02.pdf citation: Tsaftaris, Sotirios A. and Katsaggelos, Aggelos K.
