BITE: an R package for biodiversity analyses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, molecular data analyses for biodiversity studies often require advanced bioinformatics skills, preventing many life scientists from analyzing their own data autonomously. BITE R package provides complete and user-friendly functions to handle SNP data and third-party software results (i.e. Admixture, TreeMix), facilitating their visualization, interpretation and use. Furthermore, BITE implements additional useful procedures, such as representative sampling and bootstrap for TreeMix, filling the gap in existing biodiversity data analysis tools.

متن کاملAgricolae - Ten years of an open source statistical tool for experiments in breeding, agriculture and biology
Plant breeders and educators working with the International Potato Center (CIP) needed freely available statistical tools. In response, we created first a set of scripts for specific tasks using the open source statistical software R. Based on this we eventually compiled the R package agricolae as it covered a niche. Here we describe for the first time its main functions in the form of an artic...
متن کاملGenetic diversity within the Iranian spiny-tailed lizards and predicting species distribution in climate change conditions
There are different methods to investigate the effects of climatic fluctuations on the biota, two of which, molecular phylogeography and SDM, are the most useful tools to trace the past climate induced modifications on species’ geographic distributions. In this study, seven samples were collected from the species distribution range in Iran for the purpose of measuring the genetic variation with...
متن کاملDiscovering and developing primary biodiversity data from social networking sites: A novel approach
An ever-increasing need exists for fine-scale biodiversity occurrence records for a broad variety of research applications in biodiversity and science more generally. Even though large-scale data aggregators like GBIF serve such data in large quantities, major gaps and biases still exist, both in taxonomic coverage and in spatial coverage. To address these gaps, in this dissertation, I explored...
