Popis: Motivated by the duplication-correcting problem for data storage in live DNA, we study the construction of constant-weight codes in $\ell _{1}$ -metric. By using packings and group divisible designs in combinatorial design theory, we give constructions of optimal codes over non-negative integers and optimal ternary codes with $\ell _{1}$ -weight ${w}\leq 4$ for all possible distances. In general, we derive the size of the largest ternary code with constant weight $w$ and distance $2{w}-2$ for sufficiently large length n satisfying ${n}\equiv 1, {w},- {w}+2,-2{w}+3\pmod {{w}({w}-1)}$ .
