If you use nat or other natverse packages, please always cite our natverse paper (Bates, Manton et al, eLife 2020). This justifies funding for continued development. You may need to cite additional publications if you use specific packages that implement specialised algorithms or provide datasets for reanalysis. Use a command like: citation(package="nat.nblast") to see if there is a specific citation to use for a given package in addition to the general natverse paper.
