I'm responding to a recent question on the subject above. Below is a list of references dealing with unusual graphic characterization of genetic sequence data, and also the use of faces to represent data. Many of these papers are reprinted in the following book, which contains several chapters on novel graphic representations in a range of fields: COMPUTERS, PATTERN, CHAOS, AND BEAUTY (Subtitled: Graphics from an Unseen World) By Clifford A. Pickover. St. Martin's Press. New York, New York. 400 pp. illus., color. Hardcover, $29.95. ISBN 0-312-04123-3. Mr. Garrett Kiely, St. Martin's Press, 175 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010 USA.
