Preliminaries

This vignette illustrates the most useful functions of yatah.

library(dplyr)
library(yatah)

Data

For this example, we use data from @zeller2014potential. It is the abundances of bacteria present in 199 stool samples.

abundances <- as_tibble(yatah::abundances)
print(abundances, max_extra_cols = 2)

taxonomy <- select(abundances, lineages)
taxonomy

Filtering

Here, we have all the present bacteria at all different ranks. As we are just interested in genera that belong to the Gammaproteobacteria class, we filter() the lineages with is_clade() and is_rank(). The genus name is accessible with last_clade().

gammap_genus <-
  taxonomy %>% 
  filter(is_clade(lineages, "Gammaproteobacteria"),
         is_rank(lineages, "genus")) %>% 
  mutate(genus = last_clade(lineages))
gammap_genus

Taxonomic table

It is useful to have a taxonomic table. taxtable() do the job.

gammaprot_table <-
  gammap_genus %>% 
  pull(lineages) %>% 
  taxtable()
as_tibble(gammaprot_table)

Taxonomic tree

To have a tree, use taxtree() with a taxonomic table in input. By default, it collapses ranks with only one subrank.

gammaprot_tree <- taxtree(gammaprot_table)
gammaprot_tree

plot(gammaprot_tree, show.node.label = TRUE, cex = 0.7, 
     main = "Taxonomy of Gammaproteobacteria")
