Are you interested in learning how to extract tables from PDFs using simple and effective R tools?

I’ll give a workshop next week as part of the Workshops for Ukraine initiative.

Excited to announce our article, "EvoWeaver: large-scale prediction of gene functional associations from coevolutionary signals" was just published in Nature Communications!

We demonstrate that it's possible to infer how genes work together using only sequencing data by leveraging correlated signals of evolution. Check it out at the link below!

EvoWeaver: large-scale prediction of gene functional associations from coevolutionary signals - Nature Communications

Despite having structures for most proteins, we still do not know their function. Here, authors introduce EvoWeaver, a de novo method to identify genes working together using evolutionary information.

Don’t want your matrix becoming a lonely vector if you index a single column? There is a simple solution 👇

Discovered this gem ages ago – couldn't believe I didn't know about it sooner though.

Hope this ripper helps someone else.

#RStats

Hey, #rstats champions! Sometimes you might want to consider reordering 🔀 your boxplot groups to more clearly illustrate the differences between them. You can easily achieve this with the `reorder` function within your aesthetic mappings. Check out my blog for a full working example and code.

earthdatalogin by Carl Boettiger streamlines the process of accessing NASA data from the Earth Data cloud program.

It also has a few vignettes explaining "Data Cubes with STAC", "Cloud-Native Access", and even shows how to read some data from a 31 Terrabyte Zarr.

At my workplace, we're looking into how we can support the processing of very large datasets in R. It would be wonderful if some bioinformaticians could answer a couple of questions to direct us to the problem points.

We're hoping that we can publish something out of this that will be helpful to everyone in the field: forms.office.com/r/jNd2cbEZkh

(1/2) Timetk for Python 🚀🚀🚀

The timetk, one of the main R packages for time series analysis and forecasting ❤️, by Matt Dancho, is now available in Python 🐍. The package provides a variety of tools for working with time series data and analyzing it. The Python version leverages pandas for processing time series data and plotly for visualization.

I'm wanting to incorporate some #Rstats in my university #Evolution class so that students learn/reinforce some R skills while increasing their understanding of evolution. I did an internet search and found next to nothing:

Too advanced:

Interesting, but pretty limited in what it does:

Any recommendations?

Last Wednesday I ran @joelnitta's excellent "Introduction to Targets" workshop and taught around 15 people how to write workflows in R. I also tested out some bonus content about running targets on Slurm/HPC which I hope to get included in the workshop eventually.

All the feedback was positive, so I recommend giving it a shot if you're interested in teaching Targets at your organization!

New resource: a set of miscellaneous general-purpose R functions. I created most of these functions for my own personal use over the past 13 years, but I have also shared them informally with many students, friends, and colleagues. I have decided to publish them for anyone else who may be interested. They address a variety of tasks that sometimes come up in psychological data analysis.

#Statistics #RStats

New release of `plot2` coming in hot. As a reminder, the plot2 📦 provides a lightweight extension of the base #rstats plotting system. Automatically handles grouping and legends, etc. This version also adds support for pointrange and ribbon plots.

Make those base plots look good with minimal effort: github.com/grantmcdermott/plot…

New version of the rotl #rstats package. This package allows you to retrieve phylogenetic trees from the Open Tree of Life API.

The only change is that the function to match taxonomic names returns the taxon with the highest score if there are multiple matches. The score represents the distance to the match (a perfect match has a score of 1.0)

The EIAapi R package is now on CRAN 🚀

The EIA API is one of my favorite resources for real-life time series data examples ❤️. I packaged a couple of datasets (USgas and USgrid packages), and it is going to be the main resource for my upcoming book on time series analysis and forecasting. The package provides a function to seamlessly query data from the EIA API v2 in a tidy format.

I've been playing around with using #WebR and #Quarto for client-side interactive lesson material and it's amazing! All the R code (including #TidyVerse 📦) is running in the user's browser, so no server setup, resources, or security to worry about.

I'm super-duper excited by webR! Running #rstats directly in the browser without needing to install it is a dream come true for teaching and onboarding. I wished I had the time to add it to this trimester's introductory programming class.

webR 0.1.0 has been released - Tidyverse

webR 0.1.0 has been released! Using the magic of WebAssembly, webR allows you to run R code directly within a web browser.

^{www.tidyverse.org}

Introducing Tidier.jl for #JuliaLang:

A 100% Julia implementation of the #rstats {tidyverse}. Powered by the DataFrames.jl package and Julia’s meta-programming capabilities.

github.com/kdpsingh/Tidier.jl

Still a work in progress.

Tidier.jl currently supports many of the core tidyverse functions. Because the package implements a non-standard domain-specific language (i.e., tidyverse) within Julia, it requires macros instead of plain functions, which is why all of the functions start with a "@".

This thread explains the {quartodon} R 📦 (see quartodon.opens.science).

The #rstats quartodon 📦 allows you to post a Mastodon thread from a plain text file (e.g., a blog post from a Quarto, {blogdown}, or {distill} website, another Quarto or R Markdown file, or just a plain text file).

This effectively allows you to post blog posts to Mastodon in a thread of toots 📑➡️🪄➡️🐘🐘🐘
