# Break TAI patterns using gaTAI

## Motivation for breaking the hourglass

Inspired by the ‘ontogeny-phylogeny’ correlations and the hourglass model of evolutionary development, we recently asked whether we could break the hourglass or any TAI profile by extracting a stable set of genes, and gain information about the role these extracted genes have in the development of the organism.

Further motivation is in this thesis.

## Break the hourglass using gaTAI

    library(myTAI)
    data("example_phyex_set")

    myTAI::destroy_pattern(example_phyex_set)

…

This is a teaser.

The `myTAI::destroy_pattern()` requires the package `gataiR` which is still under development.
