Overview

About

Maintained by John QuensenFirst published 2026-05-141 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A collection of utility functions for community ecology analyses, with emphasis on workflows using the 'phyloseq' and 'vegan' packages. Includes functions for normalizing OTU tables, computing alpha diversity via rarefaction (using a fast C++ implementation), differential abundance comparisons with compact letter displays, primer checking for amplicon sequencing, plotting QIIME 2/DADA2 generated transition stats and miscellaneous helpers for ordination plots and taxonomic name formatting.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
