TRait-Associated SNP EnRichment analyses

Description

Perform GWAS trait-associated SNP enrichment analyses in genomic intervals using different approaches

Usage

traseR(snpdb, region, snpdb.bg=NULL, keyword = NULL, rankby = c("pvalue", "odds.ratio"),

snpdb.bg

A GRange object contains non-trait-associated SNPs. They are treated as background for statistical testing instead of whole genome as background if specified.

The keyword is used when specific trait is of interest. If keyword is specified, only the SNPs associated to the trait are used for analyses. Otherwise, all traits will be analyzed.

rankby

Traits could be ranked by either p-value or adds.ratio based on the enrichment level of trait-associated SNPs in genomic intervals.

Several hypothesis testing options are provided: binomial(binomial test),fisher(Fisher's exact test),chisq(Chi-squared test),chisq(nonparametric test). Default is binomial(binomial test)

alternative

Indicate the alternative hypothesis. If greater, test if the genomic intervals are enriched in trait-associated SNPs than background. If less, test if the genomic intervals are depleted in trait-associated SNPs than background. If two.sided, test if there is difference between the enrichment of trait-associated SNPs in genomic intervals and in background.

ntimes

The number of shuffling time for one batch. See nbatch.

nbatch

The number of batches. The product of ntimes and nbatch is the total number of shuffling time.

trait.threshold

Test traits with number of SNPs more than the threshold.

traitclass.threshold

Test trait class with number of SNPs more than the threshold.

pvalue

SNPs with p-value less than this threshold are used for analyses.
