On cyclic DNA codes over $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2+u^2\mathbb{F}_2$

Abstract

In the present paper we study the structure of cyclic DNA codes of even lenght over the ring $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2+u^2\mathbb{F}_2$ where $u^3=0$. We investigate two presentations of cyclic codes of even lenght over $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2+u^2\mathbb{F}_2$ satisfying the reverse constraint and reverse-complement constraint.
