We have put together a few tutorials to get you quickly started with GenGIS.
Contents
Tutorial 0: Construct a Custom Digital Elevation Maps (DEM)
Instructions on how to contruct a custom DEM using the data available from the GTOPO30 site is available here.
Tutorial 1: Banza Katydids of the Hawaiian Islands
In this tutorial, we consider the phylogenetic tree of Banza katydids (acoustic insects) from the Hawaiian Islands recently recovered by Shapiro et al. [1]. GenGIS will be used to investigate whether or not this phylogeny is related to the geography of the Hawaiian Islands.

Tutorial 2: Marine Microbial Communities from the Atlantic Seaboard
In this tutorial, we examine samples collected as part of the Global Ocean Sampling metagenomic survey [2] in order to investigate the influence of environmental factors on the composition of microbial communities from marine ecosystems.
