Motivation:
The AADR Visualizer is designed to be a public, user-friendly, web-based graphical user interface for visualizing and filtering ancient humans included in the Allen Ancient DNA Resource (AADR), a regularly updated dataset that compiles published human genome-wide ancient DNA for research uses. This tool increases access to the rapidly growing pool of human ancient DNA available for study, facilitating genomic research and education focused on human prehistoric movement and interaction.
Results:
The AADR Visualizer provides the ability to 1) view all available individuals and associated metadata, 2) filter individuals using a diverse set of geographic, temporal, and sequencing information, and 3) search for individuals using group nomenclature as described in the Allen Ancient DNA Resource.
Availability And Implementation:
The tool is freely available on the web at https://arcg.is/1CyL5n.
