The main motivation of this work is to study and obtain some reversible and DNA codes of length n with better parameters. Here, we first investigate the structure of cyclic and skew cyclic codes over the chain ring R:=F4[v]/⟨v3⟩. We show an association between the codons and the elements of R using a Gray map. Under this Gray map, we study reversible and DNA codes of length n. Finally, several new DNA codes are obtained that have improved parameters than previously known codes. We also determine the Hamming and the Edit distances of these codes.

Thus <inline-formula><tex-math id="M7">\begin{document}$ R_{\ell,m} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> is a finite commutative non-chain ring of order <inline-formula><tex-math id="M8">\begin{document}$ p^{2^{\ell} m} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with characteristic <inline-formula><tex-math id="M9">\begin{document}$ p $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. In this paper, we aim to construct quantum codes from skew constacyclic codes over <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ R_{\ell,m} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. First, we discuss the structures of skew constacyclic codes and determine their Euclidean dual codes. Then a relation between these codes and their Euclidean duals has been obtained. Finally, with the help of a duality-preserving Gray map and the CSS construction, many MDS and better non-binary quantum codes are obtained as compared to the best-known quantum codes available in the literature.</p>
