A complete set of canonical nucleobases in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu - Nature Astronomy Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five canonical nucleobases (A, G, C, T and U). Their presence in Ryugu and Bennu supports the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth.

Here is a short example of how to create a phylogenetic tree like the one on the left. I use data and silhouettes provided by the ggtree package — more is coming in the next days!

thats a very interesting phylogenetic tree that reflect the avian evolution. I know its a big jump, but can we build something like this with #ggtree ?

Styling ggtree branches is easy; change color, linewidth, and linetype directly inside the ggtree() call. Works the same across rectangular, circular, and slanted layouts. Colors from the alger palette (ltc package).

thank you Trevor 😀!

The cool things about ggtree don't stop here. You can use geom_text() or geom_label() to display node and tip labels simultaneously, or geom_tiplab() to show only tip labels. You can even have nodes and tips looking differently

Nice to see this published at @PLoS Comp Bio. Big improvements after peer review and important input from @gsherloc.bsky.social! Hopefully, this tool will be helpful for those interested in using barcodes for detecting new beneficial mutations.

Derived layouts build on top of those by flipping, rotating, or transforming coordinates — one extra line turns a rectangular tree into a dendrogram or an inward circular plot.

Base layouts (rectangular, slanted, circular, fan, daylight…) control the overall shape of the tree.

#ggtree has a relatively steep learning curve. But after looking at a few Python alternatives eg., toytree, ETE, Bio.Phylo it's hard to match its layout versatility. 21 tree variants with just a few lines of code.

I would just love to have a simpler way to update RStudio less frequently on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or ideally have it happen with a single click. Indeed we can discuss it over an email.

Thank you, Dirk. My statement should in no way diminish the love for R or the outstanding work the community is doing I use it every day across multiple computers.

Definitely not the biggest problem in the world right now, but constantly installing new versions of RStudio, R and R packages is getting old fast. 😤 #RStats #DataScience

5/ How standard tools behave depends on depth.
DESeq2, edgeR, limma-voom with size-factor or TMM normalization handle moderate depth differences fine. But artifacts explode when depth is very low or tightly confounded with condition.
