Package 'treebase'

Title: Discovery, Access and Manipulation of 'TreeBASE' Phylogenies
Description: Interface to the API for 'TreeBASE' <http://treebase.org> from 'R.' 'TreeBASE' is a repository of user-submitted phylogenetic trees (of species, population, or genes) and the data used to create them.

A function to cache the phylogenies in treebase locally

Description

A function to cache the phylogenies in treebase locally

Usage

cache_treebase(
  file = paste("treebase-", Sys.Date(), ".rda", sep = ""),
  pause1 = 3,
  pause2 = 3,
  attempts = 10,
  max_trees = Inf,
  only_metadata = FALSE,
  save = TRUE
)

Arguments

file

filename for the cache, otherwise created with datestamp

pause1

number of seconds to hesitate between requests

pause2

number of seconds to hesitate between individual files

attempts

number of attempts to access a particular resource

max_trees

maximum number of trees to return (default is Inf)

only_metadata

option to only return metadata about matching trees

save

logical indicating whether to save a file with the resuls.

Details

it's a good idea to let this run overnight

Value

saves a cached file of treebase

Examples

## Not run: 
 treebase <- cache_treebase()

## End(Not run)

Download the metadata on treebase using the OAI-MPH interface

Description

Download the metadata on treebase using the OAI-MPH interface

Usage

download_metadata(
  query = "",
  by = c("all", "until", "from"),
  curl = getCurlHandle()
)

Arguments

query

a date in format yyyy-mm-dd

by

return all data "until" that date, "from" that date to current, or "all"

curl

if calling in series many times, call getCurlHandle() first and then pass the return value in here. Avoids repeated handshakes with server.

Details

query must be#' download_metadata(2010-01-01, by="until") all isn't a real query type, but will return all trees regardless of date

Examples

## Not run: 
Near <- search_treebase("Near", "author", max_trees=1)
 metadata(Near[[1]]$S.id)
## or manualy give a sudy id
metadata("2377")

### get all trees from a certain depostition date forwards ##
m <- download_metadata("2009-01-01", by="until")
## extract any metadata, e.g. publication date:
dates <- sapply(m, function(x) as.numeric(x$date))
hist(dates, main="TreeBase growth", xlab="Year")

### show authors with most tree submissions in that date range 
authors <- sapply(m, function(x){
   index <- grep( "creator", names(x))
     x[index] 
})
a <- as.factor(unlist(authors))
head(summary(a))

## Show growth of TreeBASE 
all <- download_metadata("", by="all")
dates <- sapply(all, function(x) as.numeric(x$date))
hist(dates, main="TreeBase growth", xlab="Year")

## make a barplot submission volume by journals
journals <- sapply(all, function(x) x$publisher)
J <- tail(sort(table(as.factor(unlist(journals)))),5)
b<- barplot(as.numeric(J))
text(b, names(J), srt=70, pos=4, xpd=T)

## End(Not run)

drop errors from the search

Description

drop errors from the search

Usage

drop_nontrees(tr)

Arguments

tr

a list of phylogenetic trees returned by search_treebase

Details

primarily for the internal use of search_treebase, but may be useful

Value

the list of phylogenetic trees returned successfully


Search the dryad metadata archive

Description

Search the dryad metadata archive

Usage

dryad_metadata(study.id, curl = getCurlHandle())

Arguments

study.id

the dryad identifier

curl

if calling in series many times, call getCurlHandle() first and then pass the return value in here. Avoids repeated handshakes with server.

Value

a list object containing the study metadata

Examples

## Not run: 
  dryad_metadata("10255/dryad.12")

## End(Not run)

Simple function to identify which trees have branch lengths

Description

Simple function to identify which trees have branch lengths

Usage

have_branchlength(trees)

Arguments

trees

a list of phylogenetic trees (ape/phylo format)

Value

logical string indicating which have branch length data


metadata.rda

Description

Contains a cache of all publication metadata the search_metadata() to pull down when run on 2012-05-12.

Usage

metadata(phylo.md = NULL, oai.md = NULL)

Arguments

phylo.md

cached phyloWS (tree) metadata, (optional)

oai.md

cached OAI-PMH (study) metadata (optional)

Details

recreate with: search_metadata()

Value

a data frame of all available metadata, (as a data.table object) columns are: "Study.id", "Tree.id", "kind", "type", "quality", "ntaxa" "date", "publisher", "author", "title".

Examples

## Not run: 
meta <- metadata()
meta[publisher %in% c("Nature", "Science") & ntaxa > 50 & kind == "Species Tree",]

## End(Not run)

A function to pull in the phyologeny/phylogenies matching a search query

Description

A function to pull in the phyologeny/phylogenies matching a search query

Usage

search_treebase(
  input,
  by,
  returns = c("tree", "matrix"),
  exact_match = FALSE,
  max_trees = Inf,
  branch_lengths = FALSE,
  curl = getCurlHandle(),
  verbose = TRUE,
  pause1 = 0,
  pause2 = 0,
  attempts = 3,
  only_metadata = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

a search query (character string)

by

the kind of search; author, taxon, subject, study, etc (see list of possible search terms, details)

returns

should the fn return the tree or the character matrix?

exact_match

force exact matching for author name, taxon, etc. Otherwise does partial matching

max_trees

Upper bound for the number of trees returned, good for keeping possibly large initial queries fast

branch_lengths

logical indicating whether should only return trees that have branch lengths.

curl

the handle to the curl web utility for repeated calls, see the getCurlHandle() function in RCurl package for details.

verbose

logical indicating level of progress reporting

pause1

number of seconds to hesitate between requests

pause2

number of seconds to hesitate between individual files

attempts

number of attempts to access a particular resource

only_metadata

option to only return metadata about matching trees which lists study.id, tree.id, kind (gene,species,barcode) type (single, consensus) number of taxa, and possible quality score.

Value

either a list of trees (multiphylo) or a list of character matrices

Examples

## Not run: 
## defaults to return phylogeny
Huelsenbeck <- search_treebase("Huelsenbeck", by="author")

## can ask for character matrices:
wingless <- search_treebase("2907", by="id.matrix", returns="matrix")

## Some nexus matrices don't meet read.nexus.data's strict requirements,
## these aren't returned
H_matrices <- search_treebase("Huelsenbeck", by="author", returns="matrix")

## Use Booleans in search: and, or, not
## Note that by must identify each entry type if a Boolean is given
HR_trees <- search_treebase("Ronquist or Hulesenbeck", by=c("author", "author"))

## We'll often use max_trees in the example so that they run quickly,
## notice the quotes for species.
dolphins <- search_treebase('"Delphinus"', by="taxon", max_trees=5)
## can do exact matches
humans <- search_treebase('"Homo sapiens"', by="taxon", exact_match=TRUE, max_trees=10)
## all trees with 5 taxa
five <- search_treebase(5, by="ntax", max_trees = 10)
## These are different, a tree id isn't a Study id.  we report both
studies <- search_treebase("2377", by="id.study")
tree <- search_treebase("2377", by="id.tree")
c("TreeID" = tree$Tr.id, "StudyID" = tree$S.id)
## Only results with branch lengths
## Has to grab all the trees first, then toss out ones without branch_lengths
Near <- search_treebase("Near", "author", branch_lengths=TRUE)
 
## End(Not run)

treebase.rda

Description

Contains a cache of all phylogenies cache_treebase() function was able to pull down when run on 2012-05-14.

Details
