Abstract
We put forward a novel 2-D graphical representation of DNA or RNA sequences based on a four-color map. The novel representation is rather compact and it not only enables one to carry out a visual inspection of similarity/ dissimilarity between DNA sequences, but also leads to their numerical characterization. The approach is illustrated with the coding sequence of the exon 1 of the human β-globin gene.
