Some notes on 2-D graphical representation of DNA sequence.
Some 2-D and 3-D graphical representations of DNA sequences have been given by Nandy, Leong and Mogenthaler, and Randic et al., which give visual characterizations of DNA sequences. In this paper, we presented a novel graphical representation of DNA sequences by taking four special vectors in 2-D Cartesian coordinate system to represent the four nucleic acid bases in DNA sequences, so that a DNA sequence is denoted on a plane by a directed walk. It is shown that the new graphical representation of DNA sequences has lower or nondegeneracy.
