Motivation:
We introduce SMapper, a novel web and software tool for visualizing spatial prevalence data of all types including those suffering from incomplete geographic coverage and insufficient sample sizes. We demonstrate the benefits of our tool in overcoming interpretational issues with existing tools caused by such data limitations. We exemplify the use of SMapper by applications to human genotype and phenotype data relevant in an epidemiological, anthropological and forensic context.
Availability And Implementation:
A web implementation is available at https://rhodos.ccg.uni-koeln.de/smapper/. A stand-alone version, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 as published by the Free Software Foundation, is available from https://rhodos.ccg.uni-koeln.de/smapper/software-download.php as a Singularity container (https://docs.sylabs.io/guides/latest/user-guide/index.html) and a native Linux Python installation.
