Call 'BEAST2'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'BEAST2' is a command-line tool. This package provides a way to call 'BEAST2' from an 'R' function call.

High-Performance Matrix Market File Operations

An interface to the 'fast_matrix_market' 'C++' library, this package offers efficient read and write operations for Matrix Market files in R. It supports both sparse and dense matrix formats. Peer-reviewed at 'rOpenSci' (< https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/606>).

Model Comparison Using 'babette'

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'mcbette' allows to do a Bayesian model comparison over some site and clock models, using 'babette' (< https://github.com/ropensci/babette/>).

'Programmatic Interface to the 'openfisheries.org' API'

A programmatic interface to 'openfisheries.org'. This package is part of the 'rOpenSci' suite ( http://ropensci.org).

Make Fake Data

Make fake data that looks realistic, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers ('DOIs'), jobs, phone numbers, 'DNA' sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.

Taxonomic Information from Around the Web

Interacts with a suite of web application programming interfaces (API) for taxonomic tasks, such as getting database specific taxonomic identifiers, verifying species names, getting taxonomic hierarchies, fetching downstream and upstream taxonomic names, getting taxonomic synonyms, converting scientific to common names and vice versa, and more. Some of the services supported include 'NCBI E-utilities' (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/>), 'Encyclopedia of Life' (< https://eol.org/docs/what-is-eol/data-services>), 'Global Biodiversity Information Facility' (< https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/>), and many more. Links to the API documentation for other supported services are available in the documentation for their respective functions in this package.

Interface to Chromosome Counts Database API

A programmatic interface to the Chromosome Counts Database (< https://ccdb.tau.ac.il/>), Rice et al. (2014) . This package is part of the 'ROpenSci' suite (< https://ropensci.org>).

'BEAUti' from R

'BEAST2' (< https://www.beast2.org>) is a widely used Bayesian phylogenetic tool, that uses DNA/RNA/protein data and many model priors to create a posterior of jointly estimated phylogenies and parameters. 'BEAUti 2' (which is part of 'BEAST2') is a GUI tool that allows users to specify the many possible setups and generates the XML file 'BEAST2' needs to run. This package provides a way to create 'BEAST2' input files without active user input, but using R function calls instead.

Downloads and Organizes Financial Data from Yahoo Finance

Facilitates download of financial data from Yahoo Finance < https://finance.yahoo.com/>, a vast repository of stock price data across multiple financial exchanges. The package offers a local caching system and support for parallel computation.

Integrated Taxonomic Information System Client

An interface to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System ('ITIS') (< https://www.itis.gov>). Includes functions to work with the 'ITIS' REST API methods (< https://www.itis.gov/ws_description.html>), as well as the 'Solr' web service (< https://www.itis.gov/solr_documentation.html>).
