Abstract: In this paper, we study the structure of duals of cyclic codes over the ring R = 𝔽2 + u𝔽2 + v𝔽2 + uv𝔽2, u2 = v2 = 0, uv = vu. We determine a unique set of generators for these codes. We also determine a minimal spanning set for a class of cyclic codes of odd length over R. A sufficient condition for a cyclic code of odd length over R to contain its dual is presented. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a cyclic code of odd lengths over R to be reversible complement. Further, we construct DNA codes as images of reversible complement cyclic codes of odd length over R.

Keywords: DNA codes; duals; cyclic codes; reversible codes; reversible complement codes.
