This book describes ggplot2, a new data visualization package for R that uses the insights from Leland Wilkisons Grammar of Graphics to create a powerful and flexible system for creating data graphics. With ggplot2, its easy to: produce handsome, publication-quality plots, with automatic legends created from the plot specification superpose multiple layers (points, lines, maps, tiles, box plots to name a few) from different data sources, with automatically adjusted common scales add customisable smoothers that use the powerful modelling capabilities of R, such as loess, linear models, generalised additive models and robust regression save any ggplot2 plot (or part thereof) for later modification or reuse create custom themes that capture in-house or journal style requirements, and that can easily be applied to multiple plots approach your graph from a visual perspective, thinking about how each component of the data is represented on the final plot. This book will be useful to everyone who has struggled with displaying their data in an informative and attractive way. You will need some basic knowledge of R (i.e. you should be able to get your data into R), but ggplot2 is a mini-language specifically tailored for producing graphics, and youll learn everything you need in the book. After reading this book youll be able to produce graphics customized precisely for your problems,and youll find it easy to get graphics out of your head and on to the screen or page.read more

Improved use of a public good selects for the evolution of undifferentiated multicellularity
TL;DR: This study shows that combining rational design with experimental evolution can help evaluate hypotheses about evolutionary strategies and identifies causal mutations revealed genes and pathways, which frequently contributed to the evolved phenotype.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of negative as well as positive intergroup contact found that only negative contact predicted LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) students’ collective action intentions longitudinally while only positive contact predicted heterosexual/cisgender students' LGBT activism.

TL;DR: The largest known consolidated study of geothermal ecosystems to determine factors that influence biogeographical patterns in New Zealand determined that diversity is primarily influenced by pH at temperatures <70 °C; with temperature only having a significant effect for values >70”°C.

TL;DR: A proposed standard 'dashboard' of metrics derived from analysis of external spike-in RNA control ratio mixtures enable assessment of diagnostic performance of differentially expressed transcript lists, limit of detection of ratio (LODR) estimates and expression ratio variability and measurement bias.
