We consider DNA codes based on the nearest-neighbor (stem) similarity model which adequately reflects the hybridization potential of two DNA sequences. Our aim is to present a survey of bounds on the rate of DNA codes with respect to a thermodynamically motivated similarity measure called an additive stem similarity. These results yield a method to analyze and compare known samples of the nearest neighbor thermodynamic weights associated to stacked pairs that occurred in DNA secondary structures.
