GenGIS (pronounced 'Gengis' like with two hard 'g's) is a bioinformatics application that allows users to combine digital map data with information about biological sequences collected from the environment. GenGIS provides a 3D graphical interface in which the user can navigate and explore the data, as well as a Python interface that allows easy scripting of statistical analyses using the Rpy libraries.

Biodiversity of 19 marine metagenomes from the Global Ocean Sampling expedition.

GenGIS (pronounced 'Gengis' like with two hard 'g's) is a bioinformatics application that allows users to combine digital map data with information about biological sequences collected from the environment. GenGIS provides a 3D graphical interface in which the user can navigate and explore the data, as well as a Python interface that allows easy scripting of statistical analyses using the Rpy libraries.


Below you can find information about the software, data sources, tutorials, and the manual.


You can visit the gallery to see examples of what GenGIS can do visually. For an overview of different analyses GenGIS can carry out, please visit the plugins page.


GenGIS 2.5.3 has been released! See What's New for details.
