GenGIS is a free and open source software for geo and bioinformatics .

GenGIS is designed for handling large data sets from ecology and ( phylo ) genetics as well as the integration of maps. With regard to maps, vector data and raster data are supported, which includes both maps of the initial topology to visualize 3D terrain and geo-referenced image files for satellite images . It is possible to test geographical axes that correspond to migration routes. Taxonomies or molecular functions can be saved in an optional file in order to map sequence data.

Own scripts for data analysis can be executed within GenGis with Python and R. Statistics functions already included include regression analysis , the Mantel-Haenszel test , the calculation of alpha diversity and the visualization of matrices with highlighted pair comparisons .
