In jingwyang/TreeExp: the R package for analyzing expression evolution based on RNA-seq data

Description

TreeExp is an R package developed to provides useful phylogenetic tools applicable to RNA-seq data. The package can be applied to comparative expression evolution analysis, which includes but not liminited to:

(i) pairwise expression distance estimation;

(ii) relative rate test for transcriptome evolution;

(iii) the strength of expression conservation estimation;

(iv) ancestral transcriptome inference.

Statistical methods implemented in the package was based on Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) model of transcriptome evolution which claims that expression changes are constrained by stabilizing selection.
