Plot information stored in dataframe within a tree (ggtree)

Question

Hello to the entire Stackoverflow community!
I'm writing to you because I'm currently building a phylogeny with ggtree and I have in parallel a table like this one:
df :
Node_number Number 
50   31
1    15
13   25
35   12
40   4
5    2

and a tree such as :

and the idea is that I woule like to incorporate the df$Number information in each Node in the tree and get somethhing like I put in the picture (expected part)
tree data :
structure(list(edge = structure(c(31L, 32L, 33L, 34L, 34L, 35L, 
35L, 33L, 32L, 36L, 37L, 37L, 36L, 38L, 39L, 40L, 40L, 39L, 41L,

does someone have an idea ?

You can accomplish this using the ggtree package available on Bioconductor.

First you will need to combine your tree with the data.

library(tidyverse)
library(ggtree)

ftree <- tree$edge %>%
   as_tibble() %>%
   mutate(Node_number = 1:n()) %>% # finds edge numbering
   right_join(data, by = "Node_number") %>% # find internal node associated with your node numbering 
   left_join(fortify(tree, ladderize = FALSE), ., by = c("node" = "V2")) # merge tree and data

Note that this will produce a warning, but it does work.

Then plot the tree using ggtree and its geom_nodepoint layer.

ggtree(ftree, ladderize = FALSE) + # plots tree
   geom_tiplab() + # adds tip labels
   geom_nodepoint(aes(subset = !is.na(Number), size = Number, x = branch)) + # adds your data as points
   scale_size_continuous(range = c(4, 12)) # scales point sizes

You can adjust the size of the points with the scale_size_continuous function.

Data

data <- read_csv('Node_number,Number 
50,31
1,15
13,25
35,12
40,4
5,2')

and tree is the same as you provided.

Ggtree also has a decent manual available at https://yulab-smu.top/treedata-book/.
