Functions for reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data in a phylogenetic framework, ancestral character analyses, analyses of diversification and macroevolution, computing distances from DNA sequences, reading and writing nucleotide sequences as well as importing from BioConductor, and several tools such as Mantel's test, generalized skyline plots, graphical exploration of phylogenetic data (alex, trex, kronoviz), estimation of absolute evolutionary rates and clock-like trees using mean path lengths and penalized likelihood, dating trees with non-contemporaneous sequences, translating DNA into AA sequences, and assessing sequence alignments. Phylogeny estimation can be done with the NJ, BIONJ, ME, MVR, SDM, and triangle methods, and several methods handling incomplete distance matrices (NJ*, BIONJ*, MVR*, and the corresponding triangle method). Some functions call external applications (PhyML, Clustal, T-Coffee, Muscle) whose results are returned into R.
Utilities for secure password hashing via the argon2 algorithm. It is a relatively new hashing algorithm and is believed to be very secure. The 'argon2' implementation included in the package is the reference implementation. The package also includes some utilities that should be useful for digest authentication, including a wrapper of 'blake2b'. For similar R packages, see sodium and 'bcrypt'. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon2> or <https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/430.pdf> for more information.
Coerce R object to asciidoc, txt2tags, restructuredText, org, textile or pandoc syntax. Package comes with a set of drivers for Sweave.
An extension to stopifnot() that makes it easy to declare the pre and post conditions that you code should satisfy, while also producing friendly error messages so that your users know what's gone wrong.
Functions introduced or changed since R v3.0.0 are re-implemented in this package. The backports are conditionally exported in order to let R resolve the function name to either the implemented backport, or the respective base version, if available. Package developers can make use of new functions or arguments by selectively importing specific backports to support older installations.
This package provides tools for handling base64 encoding. It is more flexible than the orphaned base64 package.
Regression for data too large to fit in memory.
Provides a simple interface for creating active bindings where the bound function accepts additional arguments.
Provides an easy way to fill an environment with active bindings that call a C++ function.
