A proper understanding of the effects of human migration on genetic risk of disease may facilitate addressing these risks in today's diverse populations.
The following visualizations display genetic data across 51 worldwide populations provided by the Human Genome Diversity Project.

Genetic Risk World Map
Displays population risks geographically including migration patterns.
This map was key to discovering that migration is associated with decreased genetic risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
Genetic Risk Human Relationship Map
Displays risks in contrast to genetic similarities and geographic vicinity.
