Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Theoretical Computer Science
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Previous research by Arquès and Michel investigated maximal circular codes composed of trinucleotides (three-letter words).
  • These codes are based on the genetic alphabet {A, C, G, T}.
  • Further analysis of these specific genetic word structures is warranted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide additional information on maximal circular codes of length 3.
  • To investigate the growth function of self-complementary circular codes.
  • To determine the exact number of maximal self-complementary circular codes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of circular codes of length 3.
  • Study of the growth function specifically for self-complementary codes.

  • Combinatorial enumeration and proof techniques.
  • Main Results:

    • The growth function of self-complementary circular codes was analyzed.
    • It was proven that precisely 528 self-complementary circular codes are maximal.
    • This finding contributes to the understanding of combinatorial properties of genetic codes.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully identified and quantified maximal self-complementary circular codes.
    • The results confirm and extend previous findings on maximal circular codes.
    • This research offers valuable insights into the structure and properties of genetic words.
