Figure 1From: Using a color-coded ambigraphic nucleic acid notation to visualize conserved palindromic motifs within and across genomesVarious strategies have been developed for visualizing genetic sequences. For example, the notation proposed by Cowin et al.[3] uses dots arranged like notes on a music stave to display genetic data (A). Jarvius and Landegren’s DNA Skyline notation[4] represents nucleotides as differently sized blocks (B). Finally, Schneider and Stephens’ Sequence Logo[6] uses stacked, variably-sized IUPAC characters to display genetic variation in sequence alignments (C).Back to article page
