Diel vertical migration promotes prokaryotic diversity in the Red Sea mesopelagic

This repository contains the code base to reproduce the main figures presented in Huete-Stauffer et al. Diel vertical migration promotes prokaryotic diversity in the Red Sea mesopelagic.

How to use this repository

• The code is written in R (version 3.6.1) within RStudio (1.2.5019). No other versions have been tested
• Inside the folder 'Figures_main' there is a script per figure (eg: Huete-Stauffer_Fig2.R). You can open that script inside RStudio and use the button 'Source' to run the script entirely and output the figure to the Figures_main folder. You can also run it manually if you are interested in the intermediate steps of each figure.
• The original data (sequences with taxonomy and metadata) are available for download at https://zenodo.org/record/5816123. You don't need to download these files before running the scripts, they are called when needed inside each script.
• The file Requirements.R is shows the packages and versions required to the able to run the scripts.
