iSEEtree, miaSim

[TuomasBorman]

iSEEtree and miaSim examples are missing from the book. At least, they should be mentioned.

@RiboRings could you suggest citation to iSEEtree in OMA? I think we had a chapter with interactive plots etc. It could fit there. Perhaps a 1-2 sentences or a short paragraph is enough, with a link?

I could do miaSim later, also here just explanation and link should be enough. The miaSim vignette shows how to use it and we should avoid replicating info.

Another option is that we would systematically maintain a list of SE/MAE-related microbiome resources in R/Bioc, similar to what @microsud has done more generically for any tools includng phyloseq. A sort explanation on each pkg could be there.

Interactive plot was in extra visualization chapter and they are moved now to appendix. The other visualization stuff is not worth to put in main chapters, I think. This iSEEtree is important so it should be more visible than it would be in appendix.

I agree that it is not good idea to do overlapping stuff especially when those vignettes are well done.

SE/MAE-related microbiome resources in R/Bioc might be good option. They could go under "Support & Resources" in own chapter so that they are easily found, That list might be something that community could easily extend (might encourage developers to support SE/MAE?)

I think iSEEtree could fit well the visualisation chapter. I can refer to it there.

In my opinion, we could rethink the visualisation chapter so that it follows the the structure of iSEEtree and the viz options of miaViz.

[TuomasBorman]

Yep, but on the other hand most of the techniques in visualization chapter are already covered in main topics. For example, heatmap section just shows how to replicate heatmaps with pheatmap, sechm and plain ggplot2.

So we could move visualization back to "main" topics but then the material should be better (no overlapping topics, better structure...).

The problem with a separate visualization chapter is that it gets somewhat disattached from the actual methodological content. Visualization is something that should come across all analyses, and different visualizations are necessary for different analyses.

I also like this option better

The more general package listing is also related to the following issues:

The iSEEtree is now also in Bioconductor and should be linked.
