Abstract
In this paper we study a generalization of the classical notions of solid codes and comma-free codes: involution solid codes (θ-solid) and involution join codes (θ-join). These notions are motivated by DNA strand design where Watson-Crick complementarity can be formalized as an antimorphic involution. We investigate closure properties of these codes, as well as necessary conditions for θ-solid codes to be maximal. We show how the concept of θ-join can be utilized such that codes that are not themselves θ-comma free can be split into a union of subcodes that are θ-comma free.
