Abstract
A method is presented for embedding nucleotide sequence data in a simple metric space. Computer graphical examination of spatially-represented sequences permits rapid searches for canonical patterns or interesting structures. Sequence comparisons are facilitated by plots of distance measures for homologous sequences, and the large-scale structure of the genetic code can be studied by measures such as fractal dimensionality.Mesh:
