Results are displayed clockwise from chromosome 1 to 22. The peaks in red are newly discovered genetic regions, and the blue ones were previously identified by other groups. Millions of genetic variants from tens of thousands of individuals were analysed in this study.
Nature Index Rankings of the Top 50 Countries
Figure showing the ‘Nature Index’ rankings of the top 50 countries – to do this we accessed the right data and used R programming to visualise the results in an informative but also aesthetic way
Number of Citations and h-index
Figure showing the number of citations and h-index of Dr Mesut Erzurumluoglu (our co-founder) – who proposed that a similar version of this figure be inserted in the CVs of many postdocs who were looking for a job and requested a review of their CVs. We are pleased to say most of the postdocs found a job. We also reviewed the CV and personal statements of prospective PhD students for free.
