Geographic Information Science methods and tools are likely to help to extract useful and so far unknown information from large spatially explicit genetic datasets to understand the distribution of diversity among and within sheep and goat breeds. Considering the vast quantity of data collected within the Econogene project, exploratory data analysis methods were chosen as mean of investigation.
