I am also interested in suggestions for on-line series of DNA sequences which are related in some way, in order to test the power of the new graphic approach. My methods involve the use of graphic supercomputers to represent either DNA or amino acid data. Experiments indicate that the method is sensitive to certain important patterns in the sequence of bases or residues and allows the human observer to visually detect various important properties of biological sequences. I am sure that I will be looking for collaborators soon for the purpose of research and publishing these unusual graphs, although I may first wish to finish and submit a paper introducing the method applied to something already well known such as a cyotchrome C series. Once I submit the paper, I'll be happy to send preprints to potential collaborators. Thanks, Dr. Cliff Pickover
