How to run

  • Open analysis.R and run code line by line to reproduce the figures and analyses in the paper
  • The first part ensures the large file called "taxonomy_names.csv" is downloaded from FrigShare and placed in the correct folder.
  • Make sure all the packages are installed (RStudio will automatically suggest installing these upon opening the project)
  • Source the remaining R scripts, which are self-explanatory.

Figures are saved to the folder "output/figures" and statistics are saved as tab delimited text files in "output/stats".
