Background:

Traditional DNA sequence analysis can lead to information loss.
Graphical representations offer a potential alternative for comprehensive data visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel 2D graphical representation for DNA sequences.
To introduce a method for analyzing genetic similarities and dissimilarities using eigenvalues.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a three-component vector based on normalized leading eigenvalues of L/L matrices.
Applying the method to analyze coding sequences of the first exon of the beta-globin gene across different species.

Main Results:

The 2D graphical representation effectively avoids information loss from crossing and overlapping curves.
