[[Image:Zinc-finger-dot-plot.png|thumb|right|upright=1.4|A [[DNA]] dot plot of a [[human]] [[zinc finger]] [[transcription factor]] (GenBank ID NM_002383), showing regional [[self-similarity]]. The main diagonal represents the [[sequence alignment|sequence's alignment]] with itself; lines off the main diagonal represent similar or repetitive patterns within the sequence.]]
In [[bioinformatics]] a '''dot plot''' is a graphical method for comparing two [[Sequence (biology)|biological sequences]] and identifying regions of close similarity after [[sequence alignment]]. It is a type of [[recurrence plot]].
