Abstract

The DNA 4-bases are matched with the 256 elements of the finite ring R= F4+ uF4+ vF4+ uvF4, where u2= u, v2= v, uv= vu. By defining a non trivial automorphism over R, the skew cyclic codes over the finite ring R are introduced. The reversible DNA codes are obtained, by using the skew cyclic codes whose generator polynomials satisfy some conditions. Thanks to this, the reversibility problem for DNA 4-bases can be solved. Moreover, the Gray images of the skew cyclic codes over the finite ring are determined.
