Abstract

We continue our study of a new family of asymmetric Lee codes that arise in the design and implementation of emerging DNA-based storage systems and systems which use parallel string transmission protocols. The codewords are defined over a quaternary alphabet, although the results carry over to other alphabet sizes, and have symbol distances dictated by their underlying binary representation. Our contributions include deriving new bounds for the size of the largest code in this metric based on Delsarte-like linear programming methods and describing new constructions for non-linear asymmetric Lee codes.
