  • Abstract
    One of the puzzling problems in mathematical biology is to show the existence of any form of error-correcting code in the DNA structure. Here we propose a model for the biological coding system similar to that of a digital communication system. This model consists of an encoder (a mapper and a BCH code over Z4) and a modulator (genetic code). Here we show that DNA sequences including proteins and targeting sequences from different species with 63, 255, and 1023 nucleotides long were identified as codewords of Z4-linear codes.
