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.
Tutorial 3: Custom Data Visualizations and Movies
We have put together a number of examples illustrating how custom data visualizations and movies can be created using the API exposed to the Python console:
- An example showing how GenGIS can be used to visualize the mobility rates of HIV-1 subtype B in Europe as proposed by Paraskevis et al. (2009) has been posted here. This example includes a Python class demonstrating how a custom visualization can be made.
- A video showing the spread of the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak is available here along with all data and code used to create the video.
