Create an animation showing how the transcriptomic signature changes during the GATAI gene removal process across generations.
Usage
gatai_animate_destruction(
phyex_set,
save_file = NULL,
fps = 10,
width = 1000,
height = 800,
...
)Arguments
- phyex_set
A PhyloExpressionSet object containing the original gene expression data.
- save_file
Optional file path to save the animation (default: NULL, returns animation object).
- fps
Frames per second for the animation (default: 20).
- width
Width of the animation in pixels (default: 1000).
- height
Height of the animation in pixels (default: 800).
- ...
Additional arguments passed to
gataiR::gatai.
Value
If save_file is NULL, returns a gganimate animation object. If save_file is specified, saves the animation and returns the file path invisibly.
Details
This function runs GATAI for a single run while saving intermediate TAI values at each generation. It then creates an animated plot showing how the transcriptomic signature evolves as genes are progressively removed. The animation shows: - The original signature (generation 0) - Progressive changes through each generation - Final signature after convergence
The intermediate file format contains generation numbers in the first column and TAI values for each developmental stage in subsequent columns.
