geneSLOPE – Genome Wide Association Study with SLOPE

Package geneSLOPE can be used to perform Genome-wide association study with SLOPE.

Such an analysis is split into three steps.

1. Data is read and immediately screened using a marginal test for each SNP.
2. SNPs are clumped based on correlations.
3. SLOPE is performed on reduced data. Each clump is represented by one SNP.

How do I get set up?

You can install the latest development version of the code using the devtools R package.

# Install devtools, if you haven't already.
install.packages("devtools")

library(devtools)
install_github("psobczyk/geneSLOPE")

• You might need to install package dependencies:
  • SLOPE
  • ggplot2
  • bigmemory
  • grid
• Read vignette “Tutorial for GWAS with SLOPE” to get familiar with basic usage

Running GUI

GUI based on shiny R package is available

library(geneSLOPE)
gui_geneSLOPE()
