Geographic Genetic Visualization
DNA Proximity Heatmap
Explore your genetic connections on an interactive world map with province-level granularity. See exactly where populations matching your DNA are located, from close relatives to distant cousins, using an intuitive heat gradient system.
Map Your Global Genetic Connections
See your genetic relationships geographically projected onto a world map with province-level resolution. The heatmap shows genetic distance across all 5,453 modern references and 29,688 ancient samples, with filtering by genetic similarity threshold.

FAQ
The heatmap is based on genetic distance calculations from thousands of reference populations, making it highly accurate for showing genetic proximity patterns.
Most major world regions and populations are covered. If a region lacks data, it may appear neutral or show interpolated values from nearby populations.
Yes, zoom in on regions to see individual populations with their specific match percentages and genetic distances.
All heatmap data is generated from your DNA and shown only to you. No data is shared unless you explicitly choose to share your results.
