Ancient Genome Atlas
Copenhagen University
UX/UI Design
Researchers Hannes Schroeder and Mikkel Johansen Nørtoft from the Section of Evolutionary Genomics at Copenhagen University are on a mission to file all ancient genomes ever published and make them accessible through an interactive online resource. By mapping every single ancient genome in time and space, their Ancient Genome Atlas provides an interactive overview of the field of ancient human genomics, allowing the user to follow human migrations and gene flow in “real-time”. The Atlas to date features over 5000 ancient human genomes spanning the last 50000 years. Refined information hiearchy and a new interface design made the existing protoype more more visual and accessible.

Systemizing complexity
The Atlas provides detailed information for each find such as location, radiocarbon date and cultural context along with references to the original literature in combination with archaeological culture and language areas. Each genome is represented by a colored dot with the color being determined by the individual’s genetic ancestry. Our main focus was to create a beautiful yet systematic visual framework for the complex color scheme while moving away from a website to a single tool experience.

An active tool
The atlas will be continuously updated with additional data moving towards global coverage of ancient genome finds. A custom Umbraco admin interface was set up for easy uploading and handling of the tool’s datapoints, colors and written information. A story feature where researchers can contribute artciles for a broader audience is currently in development.
