GWAS Diversity Monitor

The University of Oxford Department of Sociology approached us to develop a brand and live infographic to monitor the diversity of participants across all published Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), the primary technique used for genetic discovery. It had to look excellent, behave flawlessly and work across a range of devices: it was to be published in the high-impact journal Nature Genetics.

The results, by the way, are genuinely surprising. Actual diversity is incredibly low in the field.
