mapDamage can be installed via pip:

pip install mapdamage

R and several packages are post mortem damage plotting, modeling, and rescaling. Refers to the detailed instructions on the dedicated page.

mapDamage2 is a computational framework written in Python3 and R, which tracks and quantifies DNA damage patterns among ancient DNA sequencing reads generated by Next-Generation Sequencing platforms.

mapDamage was developed at the Centre for GeoGenetics by the Orlando Group.
