  • Abstract
    We introduce three definitions of quaternary codes which are based on a biologically motivated measure of sequence similarity for quaternary n-sequences, extending Hamming similarity. The corresponding codes are used in bio-molecular experiments with DNA sequences. One of the codes is based on a distance function, extending Hamming distance. We discuss upper and lower bounds on the rates of these codes
