Abstract
In this paper we study the structure of cyclic DNA codes of arbitrary length over the ring R=mathbb F 2+umathbb F 2+vmathbb F 2+uvmathbb F 2 u2=0 v2=v uv=vu By defining a Gray map we establish a relation between R and R2 1 where R 1=mathbb F 2+umathbb F 2 is a ring with four elements Cyclic codes of arbitrary length over R satisfying the reverse constraint and the reversecomplement constraint are studied in this paper Furthermore we introduce reversible codes which provide a rich source for DNA codes The GC content constraint is also considered We give some examples to support our study in the last
