Wired UK - NDNAD Infographic

This is a near-final version, with a different colour scheme. Also, the layout on the page is not finalized. The application that I built allows the 'hair balls' of dots to be placed anywhere on the page.

What does the DNA of a nation look like?

 

This is the question I wanted to explore with my visualization of data associated with the UK's National DNA Database, which I built for the July issue of Wired UK.

 

The final graphic is composed of more than 5 million dots - one for each profile stored in the NDNAD. This graphic was constructed using a custom-written software program that I wrote.
