7 years ago Thank you for your lightning talk submission. We've included you on the list of presenters for June 23, 10:30am-noon. Please come prepared to load your 5-minute talk onto the presenting computer during the coffee break (10-10:30), as iEvoBio does not use the talk submission tool associated with the rest of the Evolution conference. Please let us know if you have any questions!
Lightning talk: "ape: Analyses of Phylogenetics and Evolution"
Authors: Emmanuel Paradis, Simon Blomberg, Ben Bolker, Julien Claude, Hoa Sien Cuong, Richard Desper, Gilles Didier, Benoit Durand, Julien Dutheil, RJ Ewing, Olivier Gascuel, Christoph Heibl, Anthony Ives, Bradley Jones, Franz Krah, Daniel Lawson, Vincent Lefort, Pierre Legendre, Jim Lemon, Rosemary McCloskey, Johan Nylander, Rainer Opgen-Rhein, Andrei-Alin Popescu, Manuela Royer-Carenzi, Klaus Schliep, Korbinian Strimmer, Damien de Vienne Abstract: ape is now almost 15 years on CRAN and has 192 dependencies on CRAN alone. In the development version we recently introduced the possibility to read in trees with nodes of degree 2 and made the necessary changes to handle these trees (traversing tree, plotting, etc.). We will shortly show some of these new features, which as a byproduct will also make lots of code substantially faster. We want to reach out to user and developers to give us feedback, to send trees which previously could not read into R and give some advice how to adjust for these changes in your code.
