PheWAS: R package is designed to provide an accessible interface to the phenome wide association study

BioStar — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 22:06:37 -0500

The PheWAS R package is designed to provide an accessible interface to the phenome wide association study. For a description of the methods available and some simple examples, please see the package vignette or the R documentation. For installation help, see below. ##Installing the PheWAS Package The PheWAS package can be installed using the devtools package. The following code when executed in R will get you started:

install.packages("devtools")
#It may be necessary to install required as not all package dependencies are installed by devtools:
install.packages(c("dplyr","tidyr","ggplot2","MASS","meta","ggrepel","DT"))
devtools::install_github("PheWAS/PheWAS")
library(PheWAS)

FUMA GWAS: Functional Mapping and Annotation of Genome-Wide Association Studies

Jit — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 03:11:16 -0500

FUMA is a platform that can be used to annotate, prioritize, visualize and interpret GWAS results.
The SNP2GENE function takes GWAS summary statistics as an input, and provides extensive functional annotation for all SNPs in genomic areas identified by lead SNPs.
The GENE2FUNC function takes a list of gene IDs (as identified by SNP2GENE or as provided manually) and annotates genes in biological context

Postdoctoral Associate - Bioinformatics at Duke University Medical Center

Sat, 10 Aug 2013 18:38:38 -0500

The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University Medical Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate for a one year appointment to work on several high-dimensional research projects. The specific goals of the project are to identify genes or molecular markers that are predictive of clinical outcomes in renal and prostate cancer.

Candidates must have: a PhD degree in statistics, biostatistics or bioinformatics, extensive experience in analyzing high-dimensional data (microarray, SNP, CNVs) and of validation approaches. In addition, experience in penalized regression methods, data base manipulation; and strong programming skills in order to conduct Monte Carlo studies and applications (R). Candidate must have excellent communication skills (verbal, written and presentation), a strong proficiency in Linux system.

This position is available immediately and will be filled as soon as possible. Appointment could be extended beyond the first year based on additional funding.

Variant Calling Pipeline

LEGE — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 12:23:40 -0500

The variantcalling.nf nextflow script will take any number of samples with paired-end reads in FASTQ format, map reads using Bowtie2, process BAM files, and finally call variants using BCFtools v1.21 and/or Freebayes v1.3.6. If part of the pipeline is unsuccessful for a sample then these errors are ignored.

Pipeline flowchart:

Dependencies (version tested)

Nextflow (24.04.4)
Java (18.0.2.1)
Python (3.10)
Perl (5.32.1)
Bowtie2 (2.5.3)
SAMtools (1.19.2)
GATK4 (4.5)
BCFtools (1.21)
Freebayes (1.3.6)

Kevler: Reference-free variant discovery in large eukaryotic genomes

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:21:53 -0600

Welcome to kevlar, software for predicting de novo genetic variants without mapping reads to a reference genome! kevlar's k-mer abundance based method calls single nucleotide variants (SNVs), multinucleotide variants (MNVs), insertion/deletion variants (indels), and structural variants (SVs) simultaneously with a single simple model.

maftools

Surabhi Chaudhary — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 03:18:28 -0600

With advances in Cancer Genomics, Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) is being widely accepted and used to store somatic variants detected. The Cancer Genome Atlas Project has sequenced over 30 different cancers with sample size of each cancer type being over 200. Resulting data consisting of somatic variants are stored in the form of Mutation Annotation Format. This package attempts to summarize, analyze, annotate and visualize MAF files in an efficient manner from either TCGA sources or any in-house studies as long as the data is in MAF format.

EWAS: epigenome-wide association study software 2.0

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:14:00 -0500

EWAS2.0 can analyze EWAS data and identify the association between epigenetic variations and disease/phenotype. On the basis of EWAS1.0, we have added more distinctive features. EWAS2.0 software was developed based on our “population epigenetic framework” and can perform: (1) epigenome-wide single marker association study; (2) epigenome-wide methylation haplotype (meplotype) association study; and (3) epigenome-wide association meta-analysis.
