New piece of software mentioned at DNA-FORUMS for mapping data in 3D
"Hi everyone,
We have recently released the first full version of GenGIS, a geospatial
information system for genetic and genomic data. GenGIS allows the
integration of digital maps, sequence information, and trees to build 2D
and 3D geophylogenies, and show similarity-based clustering of
georeferenced samples.
The software includes a Python console that allows the user to script
data analyses and video flythroughs, and hooks into the R statistical
language allowing exposed data to be passed directly into R.
GenGIS is extensively documented, with tutorial movies and examples. It
is available for Win32 and Mac OSX (tested on Leopard). We are also in
the process of using GenGIS to track data from the emerging H1N1
outbreak. Classical examples include the salamander 'ring species'
Ensatina eschscholtzii, and Banza katydids from the Hawai'i archipelago.
