Genetic testing across the US of A

August 16, 2011 by dendrite

Having some fun here learning to visualize data using Processing. Here is a map showing the relative number of genetic testing laboratories. California is listed with the most (35 labs). *Note, these are genetic testing laboratories which may service a wide range of health care providers and clinics.

Can you post the raw data – the testing centers you’ve counted? That would be a helpful resource.

Thanks!

You have mapped the laboratories by state registered in GeneTests. A clinic is a location where a health care provider sees patients, literally “at bedside.” Many more than 35 clinics in California order genetic tests for their patients.

Nice. Where’d you pull the data from?
