    There're a lot of good genetics, genomics, and DTC testing bloggers out there and some have released their SNPs in the public domain. As I update the usability of of Visual SNP Chip, I figured a few 50k pngs of some of them would be interesting to look at (plus mine).

    The images are all of the same 50k chunks (the default setting), nothing larger (though one can take a larger chunk to view), and there's a combo of the v3 and v2 23andMe chip data (that's1m snps for the v3, vs the v2 600k snp max) so it's not exactly overlapping ranges.

    In order, Aerts, Barrett, Chinoy, Fisher, Jostins, Khan, MacMillan, Morley, Pickrell, Plagnol, and Vorhaus.

    Visual SNP Chip works by reading a local 23andMe dataset and rasterizing the SNP pairs into colored pixels. It uses HTML5 techniques to never send the 23andMe dataset over the internet and does all rendering on your own computer. (read more about Visual SNP Chip ...) The prominent bloggers have all graciously put their 23andMe datasets online under the Creative Commons 0 License, and I used those public datasets to make the images above.
