Continuing working on permits for Aphaenogaster collection.

Planning to simulate sequence data to develop and evaluate transcriptome assembly pipeline, follow method of Vijay et al (2013)

Test of showing R code in lab notebook

x <- seq(1:10)
y <- x^2
summary(lm(y~x))
plot(x,y)

To actually run this R code and generate results, simply run through knitr

When converting pandoc to pdf, the default latex settings gave HUGE margins. stackoverflow gave the answer:

pandoc -V geometry:margin=1in -o output.pdf input.md
