I have a manhattan plot of genetic information: It was generated using the qqman package cran.r-project.org/web/packages/qqman/vignettes/qqman.html) in R which takes a dataframe of P-values, chromosome position and a gene position (for any biologists reading, this is a per gene manhattan hence the sparsity of signal).

Method overview For all presentations, we call the genetic effects on GWAS phenotypes ‘phenotypic effects’ and the effect of gene expression the ‘eQTL effect’. TWAS was originally developed to integrate eQTL and GWAS datasets derived from matched ancestries5. Specifically, it first builds gene expression prediction models using eQTL datasets that…

NEW YORK — Researchers have developed a new approach for transcriptome-wide association analyses that incorporates multi-ancestry data, which they applied to uncover additional genes associated with smoking-related behaviors and suggest new drugs to treat smoking addiction. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) generally rely on genome-wide association studies and expression quantitative trait…

METAL GWAS 0 I’m using METAL to perform meta-analysis of GWAS, but one of the public summary data I downloaded did not have effect allele frequency. I am wondering if i can perform METAl without effect allele frequency or is there anything I can do to fix this problem? frequency…

NEW YORK – Researchers at Decode Genetics (a subsidiary of Amgen), the University of Iceland, and Reykjavik University have conducted a population-scale study of plasma proteins, genomics, and transcriptomics data to create a new resource that could be used to further elucidate disease pathogenesis. In a study published in Nature…

Motivation: In spite of great success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), multiple challenges still remain. First, complex traits are often associated with many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), each with small or moderate effect sizes. Second, our understanding of the functional mechanisms through which genetic variants are associated with complex traits…

Where To Get The Genetic Map For The Haplotype Reference Consortium to phase the data externally using SHAPEIT software with family information 0 The Sanger Imputation Service does not offer a pipeline that utilizes the family information during phasing. Therefore, our pipeline (previously) has been to previously use genetic maps…

How to calculate beta and SE from z-score , p-value and frequency 0 Hi all, I have (an imputed) GWAS that only has z-score and p-values. I want to convert z-score into beta and SE. My ultimate goal is to use log(odds ratio) with its corresponding standard error to run…

Next-generation sequencing (NGS), or ‘high-throughput sequencing’, is a catch-all term that refers to various modern sequencing techniques. These techniques enable the rapid sequencing of the base pairs…

Introduction Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is chronic and recurrent intestinal inflammation of unknown etiology. Epidemiological data indicate that the incidence of IBD is high in Western regions, such as the Americas and Europe, and low in Asian regions. However, IBD has become increasingly common in Asia in recent years with…
