## IMPORTANT

This software is under active development, and as such cannot be assumed
to be free of bugs or poor functionality. Always inspect results
carefully. If you find a problem, please report it with as much detail
as possible in [Issues](https://github.com/LegalLab/delimtools/issues).
Unfortunately in its current form, some of the functions (`abgd_tbl()`,
`asap_tbl()` and `mptp_tbl()`) will not work natively on Windows
operating systems, only on Unix (MacOS, Linux). This is because third
party binaries (executable programs) are required. We have implemented a
Windows solution by importing results from the webservers that are
commonly used to run these analyses, e.g. ABGD, ASAP, and
[mPTP](https://mptp.h-its.org/). There are also difficulties with
installing R required package dependancies to run `gmyc_tbl()` and
`bgmyc_tbl()` because these are no longer under development and
available on CRAN, and must be installed from archived sources. Please
refer to <https://legallab.github.io/delimtools/articles/install.html>
for instructions on how to install. A tutorial vignette running through
all major package functionality is found at
<https://legallab.github.io/delimtools/articles/delimtools.html>.

## Overview

The official GitHub repository for the R package `delimtools`
(Bittencourt et al., in prep.).

`delimtools` provides helper functions for the analysis of single-locus
species delimitation methods such as GMYC ([Monaghan et al.,
2009](https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syp027)), bGMYC ([Reid & Carstens,
2012](https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-12-196)), mPTP ([Kapli et al.,
2017](https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btx025)) and ASAP
([Puillandre et al., 2020](https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13281)).
These software run multiple different platforms (e.g. R, Unix,
webservers), and also do not output their results in a consistent format
to allow easy comparison. To address these shortcomings we have
developed a suite of functions to standardise and simplify generating
single-locus species delimitations.

## Dependencies

Delimtools mainly depends on the [tidyverse](https://tidyverse.org/) and
[ggtree](https://github.com/YuLab-SMU/ggtree) packages. To install
these, run the command lines below:

Install `tidyverse`:

``` r
install.packages("tidyverse")
```

Install `ggtree`

``` r
if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("ggtree")
```

## Installation

To install `delimtools` you may execute the following commands. We
recommend the usage of the latest CRAN release always.

Latest stable version from CRAN

``` r
install.packages("delimtools")
```

Development version from GitHub:

``` r
devtools::install_github("LegalLab/delimtools")
```

Or a specific version via renv:

``` r
renv::install("LegalLab/delimtools@v0.1.0")
```

## Examples

Here, we will demonstrate plotting a single-locus species delimitation
analysis of a *Geophagus* eartheater cichlid dataset ([Ximenes et al.,
2021](https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.12443)) using a variety of methods.
