ChromEvol

Jit — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:33:11 -0600

Chromosome number is a remarkably dynamic feature of eukaryotic evolution. Chromosome numbers can change by a duplication of the whole genome (a process termed polyploidy), or by single chromosome changes (ascending dysploidy via, e.g., chromosome fission or descending dysploidy via, e.g., chromosome fusion).
Of the various mechanisms of chromosome number change, polyploidy has received significant attention because of the impact such an event may have on the organism.
ChromEvol implements a series of likelihood models for the evolution of chromosome numbers. By comparing the fit of the different models to biological data, it may be possible to gain insight regarding the pathways by which the evolution of chromosome number proceeds. For each model, the program estimates the rates for the possible transitions assumed by the model, infers the set of ancestral chromosome numbers, and estimates the location along the tree for which polyploidy events (and other chromosome number changes) occurred. For further methodological details, see the publications and manual on the Downloads page.

Pacman

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:15:17 -0600

The pacman package is an R package management tool that combines the functionality of base library related functions into intuitively named functions. This package is ideally added to .Rprofile to increase workflow by reducing time recalling obscurely named functions, reducing code and integrating functionality of base functions to simultaneously perform multiple actions.

Function names in the pacman package follow the format of p_xxx where ‘xxx’ is the task the function performs. For instance the p_load function allows the user to load one or more packages as a more generic substitute for the library or require functions and if the package isn’t available locally it will install it for you.

Installation

To download the development version of pacman:

Download the zip ball or tar ball, decompress and run R CMD INSTALL on it, or use the devtools package to install the development version:

## Make sure your current packages are up to date
update.packages()
## devtools is required
devtools::install_github("trinker/pacman")

Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.
