rbrothers

Multiple change-point recombination detection

Installation:

• Make sure you have the latest version of R. Among other dependencies, rbrothers relies on the rJava package, which in turn requires access to Java Development Kit (JDK). See rJava web page for more details.
• In R terminal, install dependencies by typing

install.packages(c("ape","rJava"))

• In R terminal, type

library(devtools)
install_github("vnminin/rbrothers",build_vignettes=TRUE)

Demos:

We provide the following scripts demonstrating the usage of the package. E. coli fimH* (runs for about 2 minutes):

demo("fimH_example", package="rbrothers")

• Salmonella fimH and fimA (Warning: runs for a couple of hours, because MCMC was mixing poorly, so the number of iterations was bumped to 51 M):

demo("salmonella_example", package="rbrothers")

For a list of demos available in the package, type

demo(package="rbrothers")

If you want to copy and modify one of the demo R scripts, you can use the system.file() command to find the location of the script in your tree directory:

  system.file("demo", "fimH_example.R", package="rbrothers")
