However,a more recent approach considers a very large set of input variables some of them with very little effect andhaplotypes with several consecutive markers instead of genotypes. While a bidimensional map can only showthe first of the two approaches, a 3D map together with a powerful visualiz ation tool of virtual reality maycombine both approaches, so that the molecular biologist can get immerse and explore every genetic risk factorrepresented in the map. Maps enriched with information from different annotation sources may fully benefitof this 3D immersive feature.
