Thought I'm gonna share some more work in progress art aswell and not ony finished work 🥰 I wanted to do some spooky stuff that didn't follow their natural colourpattern rather than a fun colourpalette and I'm kinda digging the purple pumpkin

While we are sharing code, here is the basis for rather than using a legend, producing the team names with the same patterning in the lines (that could be sorted into the same order as the end of the lines) and plotted in same order using ggtext
R code: teamstxt <- " Team,c1,c2 goldfish,red,black trantulas,blue,orange bunyips,green,gold" teams <- read.csv(text=teamstxt) altcolour <- function(x){ charsIn = unlist(strsplit(x["Team"],"")) colourpattern = rep(c(x["c1"],x["c2"]), ceiling(length(charsIn)/2)) colourpatterns = colourpattern[1:length(charsIn)] coloured <- paste0("<span style='color:", colourpatterns, "'>", charsIn, "</span>") return(paste(coloured, collapse="")) } teams$coltext = unname(apply(teams,1,altcolour)) teams$xval=1 library(ggplot2) library(ggtext) ggplot(teams, aes(y=coltext, label=coltext, x=xval)) + theme_void() + geom_richtext(size=8, fill = NA, label.color = NA)

I wish I had a name for her yet! Her pattern may change a bit to in the future, but the colourpattern is here to stay!

Also, our study, "PMEL is involved in snake #colourpattern transition from blotches to stripes," shows how a #PMEL mutation causes striped patterns in corn #snakes.
Excited to see these findings drive trait #diversification!

Corn snakes are a useful model organism for studying skin pigmentation. Here they characterize the Terrazzo morph and identify the role of PMEL in the patterning of pigmented cells in the skin, explai...
