Genome-wide association (GWA) tutorial

Additional files

For this tutorial you will additionally need the files

• 117Malay_282lipids.txt
• 120Indian_282lipids.txt
• 122Chinese_282lipids.txt
• 105Indian_2527458snps.bed, .bim, .fam
• 108Malay_2527458snps.bed, .bim, .fam
• 110Chinese_2527458snps.bed, .bim, .fam

stored in the folders 'Lipidomic' and 'Genomics' contained in the following compressed file: https://sphfiles.nus.edu.sg/phg/Iomics/downloads/iOmics_data.tar.gz

UPDATE 25/06/2019: uncompressed iOmics_data.tar.gz now directly available as public/

I noticed the URL recently changed. To avoid problems with tracking the data, I have now hosted all of them in this repo. It is no longer necessary to download from the link above.

Instructions

1. Combine the folders 'Lipidomic' and 'Genomics' and all files from this repo in your working directory.
2. Install all packages listed on top of the scripts. snpStats and SNPRelate are deposited in BioConductor, all other packages in CRAN.

UPDATE 25/06/2019: Linux/macOS installation of GenABEL:

install.packages("GenABEL.data", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/GenABEL/GenABEL_1.8-0.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL)

3. Run the scripts in their exact numbered order.
