This map is an example of a correlation matrix map, which although similar to a similarity matrix, also is different because it deals more with the how two things are related in terms of function and process. The above map is really cool because it takes all the genes from one of the chromosomes in the human body and shows how each gene relates to another. This is important because it could help to find replacement genes or do more research on genes that are similar in function, in case one copy is damaged. These kinds of maps are helpful in general for relating two features and can help by making connections that might take a long time to map out and then compare, or even find at all.
