myTAI: Evolutionary Transcriptomics

Investigate the evolution of biological processes by capturing evolutionary signatures in transcriptomes (Drost et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx835>). This package aims to provide a transcriptome analysis environment to quantify the average evolutionary age of genes contributing to a transcriptome of interest.
