mapDATAge

mapDATAge visualizes spatiotemporal distributions of alleles, haplogroups, and ancestry in ancient DNA datasets to support analyses of genetic change across space and time.

Key Features:

• Interactive mapping: Visualizes allele, haplogroup, and ancestry distributions across spatial and temporal dimensions for ancient DNA datasets.
• Automated modules: Provides automated modules that streamline the mapping and visualization of spatiotemporal genetic data.

Scientific Applications:

• Archaeogenetics: Assess spatiotemporal genetic patterns to investigate past human populations and their movements.
• Population genetics: Analyze changes in allele and haplogroup frequencies over time and geography to study population dynamics.
• Evolutionary biology: Examine temporal and spatial patterns of genetic variation relevant to evolutionary processes.

Methodology:

Implemented as an R package using Shiny and automated modules for visualization of spatiotemporal allele, haplogroup, and ancestry distributions from ancient DNA.
