DNA Codes that Avoid Secondary Structures

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of designing DNA sequences (codewords) for DNA storage systems and DNA computing that are unlikely to fold back onto themselves to form undesirable secondary structures. The paper addresses both the issue of enumerating the sequences with such properties and the problem of practical code construction.
