Documentation for taxatrees #127

Open hkaspersen opened 1 year ago

hkaspersen commented 1 year ago

Hello, and thank you for an excellent package! I was wondering if you had any documentation for interpretation of the taxatrees? I find it a bit difficult to be sure how to interpret the trees. Did you create the concept in this package, or did someone else come up with it? If someone else made it could you perhaps provide the reference for it? Thanks in advance!

Hi Hakon,

The concept of presenting a heatmap overview of the results of differential abundance tests at multiple ranks on a tree layout is (I believe) somewhat novel to this package.

I acknowledge the documentation is a little sparse on the functions themselves currently, but perhaps you can find more helpful general info / examples here, if you haven't seen that already? https://david-barnett.github.io/microViz/articles/web-only/modelling-taxa.html
