The multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a usual tool in DNA sequence comparison. However, 
this method meets a hard challenge for a large number of long DNA sequences. To remedy this problem, we 
propose  a  new  way  for  DNA  sequence  comparison  based  on  a  novel  DNA  map.  The  method  is  that,  by 
assigning a dinucleotide to a number, we construct a new graphical representation of DNA sequences based on 
horizontal  lines.  We  further  utilize  the  maximal  eigenvalue  of  a  related  matrix  to  derive  a  mathematical 
descriptor  for  a  DNA  sequence.  We  also  perform  the  similarity/dissimilarity  analysis  among  the  coding 
sequences of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase small chain gene and large chain gene of flowering plants. The 
results indicate that this method can be reliable in the comparison of the flowering plant DNA sequences.
