DNA code from cyclic and skew cyclic codes over F 4 [v]/⟨v 3 ⟩
Abstract
The main motivation of this work is to study and obtain some reversible and DNA codes
of length n with better parameters. Here, we first investigate the structure of cyclic and skew cyclic
codes over the chain ring R : = F 4 [ v ] / ⟨ v 3 ⟩ . We show an association between the codons and the
elements of R using a Gray map. Under this Gray map, we study reversible and DNA codes of length
n. Finally, several new DNA codes are obtained that have improved parameters than previously
known codes. We also determine the Hamming and the Edit distances of these codes.
