If you were to create a data visualization of individual human genomes, it wouldn’t be particularly interesting. Yours would probably look a lot like mine. But drill down a little deeper, and that .1 percent of your genetic code is a treasure trove of information that can be turned into a very cool visualization.
Iona Inglesby is a designer from London, who has created a company that highlights those genetic differences. Called Dot One (a reference to the .1 percent of our genetic code that’s unique), the company takes information from a cheek swab and turns it into glitchy representations of a human’s DNA on scarves, posters, and family trees.
