	<title><![CDATA[Circular plots in R]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div>
<p><strong>Circular plots</strong>&nbsp;are useful to represent complicated informations. They are used in 2 specific cases: when you have long axis and numerous categories, and when you want to show relationships between elements. The&nbsp;<a href="http://circos.ca/images/samples/" target="_blank">circos gallery</a>&nbsp;displays several examples of circular plots, what gives a nice overview of the possibilities. Circos is the most famous</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>tool to create circular plots. Thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/zuguanggu" target="_blank">Zuguang Gu</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/circlize/vignettes/circlize.pdf" target="_blank">Circlize library</a>&nbsp;makes the circos functions available in R! It implements low-level graphic functions for adding common graphics in a circular layout. This page aims to learn you how to use the library, so I strongly advise to read the graphics in the proposed order!</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>This package is intended to provide tools for the quality assessment of data produced by Oxford Nanopore&rsquo;s MinION sequencer. It includes a functions to generate a number plots for examining the statistics that we think will be useful for this task.</p>
<p>However, nanopore sequencing is an emerging and rapidly developing technology. It is not clear what will be most informative. We hope that&nbsp;<code>IONiseR</code>&nbsp;will provide a framework for visualisation of metrics that we haven&rsquo;t thought of, and welcome feedback at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:mike.smith@embl.de" target="_blank">mike.smith@embl.de</a>.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re not interested in the quality assement of the raw or event level data, and want to jump straight to the getting FASTQ format files from fast5 files you can go straight to the final section of this document.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/IONiseR/inst/doc/IONiseR.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/IONiseR/inst/doc/IONiseR.html</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Julia Programming Language, a Python and R rival]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Big data has grown to become one of the most lucrative fields. In fact, data scientists are some of the most sought people. They are usually hired to analyze, control and parse large chunks of data. Implementing these actions using traditional techniques is not a walk in the park. This is why most data scientists prefer using programming languages such as R and Python. However, there is one more programming language that can do the job. That is Julia programming language.</p><p>What Is Julia Language?</p><p>Julia is a programming language that came into the limelight in 2012. It is a general-purpose programming language that was designed for solving scientific computations. Julia was meant to be an alternative to Python, R and other programming languages that were mainly used for manipulating data. This is because it has numerous features that can minimize the complexities of numerical computations.&nbsp;</p><p>Julia optimizes on the best features of Python and R while at the same time overlooks their weaknesses. This explains why it is viewed as an alternative to these programming languages. For instance, it utilizes the readability and simplicity of Python then performs faster.</p><p>Julia is the most preferred programming language for data scientists and mathematicians. This is because its core features are similar to the ones that are used on most data software. Also, the language is ideal for these two subjects because its syntax is similar to the standard mathematical formulas.</p><p>Key Features Of Julia Language<br />Uses JIT Compilation<br />Parallelism<br />Dynamic Typing<br />Simple Syntax<br />Allows Metaprogramming<br />Accessible to Libraries<br />-1-Array Indexing</p><p>Julia Vs Python And R Programming Languages<br />1. Speed<br />Julia is faster than both Python and R. This is a very critical aspect that is given special attention in the big data programming. The high speed of Julia is because of JIT compilers. You will need to install external libraries on Python to achieve similar speed.</p><p>2. Syntax<br />Julia has a math-friendly syntax. The syntax of this programming language is similar to the mathematical formulas hence can be used to perform mathematical and scientific computations. This syntax makes it easier to learn than Python.</p><p>3. Parallelism<br />Although both Python and R use parallelism, Julia uses a top-level parallelism. Julia allows the processor to perform to the optimum level than what Python and R can achieve.</p><p>4. Versatility<br />Julia programming language is more versatile than Python and R. It allows a programmer to move from different codes and functions with ease.</p><p>The only area that Python and R are superior to Julia is in terms of community. Given that Julia is a new programming language, it has a small community as compared to others which have been around for years.</p><p>In overall Julia programming language is a better alternative that you can use to handle Big data projects. Despite having a small community, it is one of those programming languages that you can easily learn.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>UpSetR generates static&nbsp;<a href="http://vcg.github.io/upset/">UpSet</a>&nbsp;plots. The UpSet technique visualizes set intersections in a matrix layout and introduces aggregates based on groupings and queries. The matrix layout enables the effective representation of associated data, such as the number of elements in the aggregates and intersections, as well as additional summary statistics derived from subset or element attributes.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>This vignette will introduce users to the retrieval of taxonomic information with&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>. The&nbsp;<code>taxonomy()</code>&nbsp;function implemented in&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;relies on the powerful package&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/ropensci/taxize">taxize</a>. Nevertheless, taxonomic information retrieval has been customized for the&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;standard and for organism specific information retrieval.</p>
<p>Specifically, the&nbsp;<code>taxonomy()</code>&nbsp;function implemented in&nbsp;<code>myTAI</code>&nbsp;can be used to classify genomes according to phylogenetic classification into Phylostrata (Phylostratigraphy) or to retrieve species specific taxonomic information when performing Divergence Stratigraphy (see&nbsp;<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Introduction.html">Introduction</a>&nbsp;for details).</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Taxonomy.html" rel="nofollow">https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/myTAI/vignettes/Taxonomy.html</a></p>]]></description>

The Docker image seeks to mirror your R session as close as possible with respect to R specific dependencies. Both dependencies on CRAN R packages as well as local non-CRAN R packages will be included in the Docker container image.</p>
