摘要

In this paper, we propose a new method to analyze the similarity/dissimilarity of DNA sequences based on the neighboring dual nucleotides of DNA sequences. Therefore, we can decrease briefly a DNA sequence into a plot set in two-dimensional space. The proposed method is tested on the coding sequences of the first exon of beta-globin gene belonging to eleven species. The utility of our approach can be illustrated by the examination of similarities/dissimilarities among the coding sequences.
