In this paper, we determine the structure of $\theta$-skew cyclic codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_4+v \mathbb{F}_4$, where $v^2=v$ and $\theta$ is a non-trivial automorphism over $\mathbb{F}_4+v \mathbb{F}_4$. Using a correspondence between $R$ and DNA 2-bases, we characterize $\theta$-skew cyclic reversible DNA codes and $\theta$-skew cyclic reversible-complement DNA codes over this ring. We also derive the Gray images of $\theta$-skew cyclic codes.
