Intro

plot.R script downloads GENOME_REPORTS for NCBI and plots two graphs:

• genomeVSgenes - illustrates the dependency of Genome Size on the number of genes across 3 domens (namely Eukaryotes, Viruses and Prokaryotes). The goal is to investigate linear dependency charateristic of Prokaryotic and Viral genomes in comparison to non-linear dependency in Eukaryotes

• genomes-sequenced - depicts the cumulative sum of genomes sequenced over the years

How to run

The data will be downloaded into \data, and the outputs will be found at \plots Run with source("plot.R")
