Abstract
A 2D-graphical representation of DNA sequences is presented. In this representation, the DNA sequence is represented by a four-component (A, C, T, G) spectrum taken as a superposition of Gaussian functions. The maxima of single Gaussians are determined by the positions of the bases in the sequence. Distribution moments of the four-component functions are proposed as descriptors of DNA sequences.
