We developed [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) and [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) (high-performance computing R packages for multi-core symmetric multiprocessing computer architectures) to accelerate two key computations in GWAS: principal component analysis (PCA) and relatedness analysis using identity-by-descent (IBD) measures^1^. The kernels of our algorithms are written in C/C++ and have been highly optimized. The calculations of the genetic covariance matrix in PCA and pairwise IBD coefficients are split into non-overlapping parts and assigned to multiple cores for performance acceleration, as shown in Figure 1. GDS is also used by the R/Bioconductor package [GWASTools](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/GWASTools/) as one of its data storage formats^2,3^. [GWASTools](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/GWASTools/) provides many functions for quality control and analysis of GWAS, including statistics by SNP or scan, batch quality, chromosome anomalies, association tests, etc. The extended GDS format is implemented in the [SeqArray](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SeqArray/) package to support the storage of single nucleotide variation (SNV), insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel) and structural variation calls. It is strongly suggested to use SeqArray for large-scale whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing variant data instead of SNPRelate. ![Flowchart](SNPRelate-Flowchart.png) **Figure 1**: Flowchart of parallel computing for principal component analysis and identity-by-descent analysis. ~ R is the most popular statistical programming environment, but one not typically optimized for high performance or parallel computing which would ease the burden of large-scale GWAS calculations. To overcome these limitations we have developed a project named CoreArray ([http://corearray.sourceforge.net/](http://corearray.sourceforge.net/)) that includes two R packages: [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) to provide efficient, platform independent memory and file management for genome-wide numerical data, and [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) to solve large-scale, numerically intensive GWAS calculations (i.e., PCA and IBD) on multi-core symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computer architectures. This vignette takes the user through the relatedness and principal component analysis used for genome wide association data. The methods in these vignettes have been introduced in the paper of Zheng *et al.* (2012)^1^. For replication purposes the data used here are taken from the HapMap Phase II project. These data were kindly provided by the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) at Johns Hopkins University and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University (Broad). The data supplied here should not be used for any purpose other than this tutorial. $~$ # Installation of the package SNPRelate To install the package [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/), you need a current version (>=2.14.0) of [R](http://www.r-project.org) and the R package [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/). After installing [R](http://www.r-project.org) you can run the following commands from the [R](http://www.r-project.org) command shell to install the R package [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/). Install the package from Bioconductor repository: ```{r eval=FALSE} if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") BiocManager::install("gdsfmt") BiocManager::install("SNPRelate") ``` Install the development version from Github: ```{r eval=FALSE} library("devtools") install_github("zhengxwen/gdsfmt") install_github("zhengxwen/SNPRelate") ``` The `install_github()` approach requires that you build from source, i.e. `make` and compilers must be installed on your system -- see the [R FAQ](http://cran.r-project.org/faqs.html) for your operating system; you may also need to install dependencies manually. $~$ # Preparing Data ## Data formats used in SNPRelate To support efficient memory management for genome-wide numerical data, the [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) package provides the genomic data structure (GDS) file format for array-oriented bioinformatic data, which is a container for storing annotation data and SNP genotypes. In this format each byte encodes up to four SNP genotypes thereby reducing file size and access time. The GDS format supports data blocking so that only the subset of data that is being processed needs to reside in memory. GDS formatted data is also designed for efficient random access to large data sets. A tutorial for the R/Bioconductor package [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) can be found: [http://corearray.sourceforge.net/tutorials/gdsfmt/](http://corearray.sourceforge.net/tutorials/gdsfmt/). ```{r} # Load the R packages: gdsfmt and SNPRelate library(gdsfmt) library(SNPRelate) ``` Here is a typical GDS file: ```{r} snpgdsSummary(snpgdsExampleFileName()) ``` `snpgdsExampleFileName()` returns the file name of a GDS file used as an example in [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/), and it is a subset of data from the HapMap project and the samples were genotyped by the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) at Johns Hopkins University and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University (Broad). `snpgdsSummary()` summarizes the genotypes stored in the GDS file. "Individual-major mode" indicates listing all SNPs for an individual before listing the SNPs for the next individual, etc. Conversely, "SNP-major mode" indicates listing all individuals for the first SNP before listing all individuals for the second SNP, etc. Sometimes "SNP-major mode" is more computationally efficient than "individual-major model". For example, the calculation of genetic covariance matrix deals with genotypic data SNP by SNP, and then "SNP-major mode" should be more efficient. ```{r} # Open a GDS file (genofile <- snpgdsOpen(snpgdsExampleFileName())) ``` The output lists all variables stored in the GDS file. At the first level, it stores variables *sample.id*, *snp.id*, etc. The additional information are displayed in the braces indicating data type, size, compressed or not + compression ratio. The second-level variables *sex* and *pop.group* are both stored in the folder of *sample.annot*. All of the functions in [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) require a minimum set of variables in the annotation data. The minimum required variables are * *sample.id*, a unique identifier for each sample. * *snp.id*, a unique identifier for each SNP. * *snp.position*, the base position of each SNP on the chromosome, and 0 for unknown position; it does not allow NA. * *snp.chromosome*, an integer or character mapping for each chromosome. Integer: numeric values 1-26, mapped in order from 1-22, 23=X, 24=XY (the pseudoautosomal region), 25=Y, 26=M (the mitochondrial probes), and 0 for probes with unknown positions; it does not allow NA. Character: "X", "XY", "Y" and "M" can be used here, and a blank string indicating unknown position. * *genotype*, a SNP genotypic matrix (i.e., the number of A alleles). SNP-major mode: $n_{sample} \times n_{snp}$, individual-major mode: $n_{snp} \times n_{sample}$. Users can define the numeric chromosome codes which are stored with the variable *snp.chromosome* as its attributes when *snp.chromosome* is numeric only. For example, *snp.chromosome* has the attributes of chromosome coding: ```{r} # Get the attributes of chromosome coding get.attr.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, "snp.chromosome")) ``` *autosome.start* is the starting numeric code of autosomes, and *autosome.end* is the last numeric code of autosomes. `put.attr.gdsn()` can be used to add a new attribute or modify an existing attribute. There are four possible values stored in the variable *genotype*: 0, 1, 2 and 3. For bi-allelic SNP sites, "0" indicates two B alleles, "1" indicates one A allele and one B allele, "2" indicates two A alleles, and "3" is a missing genotype. For multi-allelic sites, it is a count of the reference allele (3 meaning no call). "Bit2" indicates that each byte encodes up to four SNP genotypes since one byte consists of eight bits. ```{r} # Take out genotype data for the first 3 samples and the first 5 SNPs (g <- read.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, "genotype"), start=c(1,1), count=c(5,3))) ``` Or take out genotype data with sample and SNP IDs, and four possible values are returned 0, 1, 2 and NA (3 is replaced by NA): ```{r eval=FALSE} g <- snpgdsGetGeno(genofile, sample.id=..., snp.id=...) ``` ```{r} # Get the attribute of genotype get.attr.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, "genotype")) ``` The returned value could be either "snp.order" or "sample.order", indicating individual-major mode (snp is the first dimension) and SNP-major mode (sample is the first dimension) respectively. ```{r} # Take out snp.id head(read.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, "snp.id"))) # Take out snp.rs.id head(read.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, "snp.rs.id"))) ``` There are two additional and optional variables: 1. *snp.rs.id*, a character string for reference SNP ID that may not be unique. 2. *snp.allele*, it is not necessary for the analysis, but it is necessary when merging genotypes from different platforms. The format of *snp.allele* is "A allele/B allele", like "T/G" where T is A allele and G is B allele. The information of sample annotation can be obtained by the same function `read.gdsn()`. For example, population information. "VStr8" indicates a character-type variable. ```{r} # Read population information pop <- read.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, path="sample.annot/pop.group")) table(pop) # Close the GDS file snpgdsClose(genofile) ``` $~$ ## Create a GWAS SNP GDS File ### Using snpgdsCreateGeno() The function `snpgdsCreateGeno()` can be used to create a GDS file. The first argument should be a numeric matrix for SNP genotypes. There are possible values stored in the input genotype matrix: 0, 1, 2 and other values. "0" indicates two B alleles, "1" indicates one A allele and one B allele, "2" indicates two A alleles, and other values indicate a missing genotype. The SNP matrix can be either $n_{sample} \times n_{snp}$ (*snpfirstdim=FALSE*, the argument in `snpgdsCreateGeno()`) or $n_{snp} \times n_{sample}$ (*snpfirstdim=TRUE*). For example, ```{r} # Load data data(hapmap_geno) # Create a gds file snpgdsCreateGeno("test.gds", genmat = hapmap_geno$genotype, sample.id = hapmap_geno$sample.id, snp.id = hapmap_geno$snp.id, snp.chromosome = hapmap_geno$snp.chromosome, snp.position = hapmap_geno$snp.position, snp.allele = hapmap_geno$snp.allele, snpfirstdim=TRUE) # Open the GDS file (genofile <- snpgdsOpen("test.gds")) # Close the GDS file snpgdsClose(genofile) ``` ### Using the gdsfmt package In the following code, the functions `createfn.gds()`, `add.gdsn()`, `put.attr.gdsn()`, `write.gdsn()` and `index.gdsn()` are defined in the package [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/): ```{r eval=FALSE} # Create a new GDS file newfile <- createfn.gds("your_gds_file.gds") # add a flag put.attr.gdsn(newfile$root, "FileFormat", "SNP_ARRAY") # Add variables add.gdsn(newfile, "sample.id", sample.id) add.gdsn(newfile, "snp.id", snp.id) add.gdsn(newfile, "snp.chromosome", snp.chromosome) add.gdsn(newfile, "snp.position", snp.position) add.gdsn(newfile, "snp.allele", c("A/G", "T/C", ...)) ##################################################################### # Create a snp-by-sample genotype matrix # Add genotypes var.geno <- add.gdsn(newfile, "genotype", valdim=c(length(snp.id), length(sample.id)), storage="bit2") # Indicate the SNP matrix is snp-by-sample put.attr.gdsn(var.geno, "snp.order") # Write SNPs into the file sample by sample for (i in 1:length(sample.id)) { g <- ... write.gdsn(var.geno, g, start=c(1,i), count=c(-1,1)) } ##################################################################### # OR, create a sample-by-snp genotype matrix # Add genotypes var.geno <- add.gdsn(newfile, "genotype", valdim=c(length(sample.id), length(snp.id)), storage="bit2") # Indicate the SNP matrix is sample-by-snp put.attr.gdsn(var.geno, "sample.order") # Write SNPs into the file sample by sample for (i in 1:length(snp.id)) { g <- ... write.gdsn(var.geno, g, start=c(1,i), count=c(-1,1)) } # Get a description of chromosome codes # allowing to define a new chromosome code, e.g., snpgdsOption(Z=27) option <- snpgdsOption() var.chr <- index.gdsn(newfile, "snp.chromosome") put.attr.gdsn(var.chr, "autosome.start", option$autosome.start) put.attr.gdsn(var.chr, "autosome.end", option$autosome.end) for (i in 1:length(option$chromosome.code)) { put.attr.gdsn(var.chr, names(option$chromosome.code)[i], option$chromosome.code[[i]]) } # Add your sample annotation samp.annot <- data.frame(sex = c("male", "male", "female", ...), pop.group = c("CEU", "CEU", "JPT", ...), ...) add.gdsn(newfile, "sample.annot", samp.annot) # Add your SNP annotation snp.annot <- data.frame(pass=c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE, ...), ...) add.gdsn(newfile, "snp.annot", snp.annot) # Close the GDS file closefn.gds(newfile) ``` ## Format conversion from PLINK text/binary files The [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) package provides a function `snpgdsPED2GDS()` and `snpgdsBED2GDS()` for converting a PLINK text/binary file to a GDS file: ```{r} # The PLINK BED file, using the example in the SNPRelate package bed.fn <- system.file("extdata", "plinkhapmap.bed.gz", package="SNPRelate") fam.fn <- system.file("extdata", "plinkhapmap.fam.gz", package="SNPRelate") bim.fn <- system.file("extdata", "plinkhapmap.bim.gz", package="SNPRelate") ``` Or, uses your PLINK files: ```{r eval=FALSE} bed.fn <- "C:/your_folder/your_plink_file.bed" fam.fn <- "C:/your_folder/your_plink_file.fam" bim.fn <- "C:/your_folder/your_plink_file.bim" ``` ```{r} # Convert snpgdsBED2GDS(bed.fn, fam.fn, bim.fn, "test.gds") # Summary snpgdsSummary("test.gds") ``` ## Format conversion from VCF files The [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) package provides a function `snpgdsVCF2GDS()` to reformat a VCF file. There are two options for extracting markers from a VCF file for downstream analyses: 1. to extract and store dosage of the reference allele only for biallelic SNPs 2. to extract and store dosage of the reference allele for all variant sites, including bi-allelic SNPs, multi-allelic SNPs, indels and structural variants. ```{r} # The VCF file, using the example in the SNPRelate package vcf.fn <- system.file("extdata", "sequence.vcf", package="SNPRelate") ``` Or, uses your VCF file: ```{r eval=FALSE} vcf.fn <- "C:/your_folder/your_vcf_file.vcf" ``` ```{r} # Reformat snpgdsVCF2GDS(vcf.fn, "test.gds", method="biallelic.only") # Summary snpgdsSummary("test.gds") ``` ## Format conversion from VCF files using SeqArray The [SeqArray](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SeqArray/) package provides a function `seqVCF2GDS()` to reformat a VCF file, and it allows merging multiple VCF files during format conversion. The genotypic and annotation data are stored in a compressed manner by default. SeqArray is suited for large-scale whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing variant data. See: [SeqArray Data Management](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/SeqArray/inst/doc/SeqArrayTutorial.html) for more details. It is strongly suggested to use SeqArray for large-scale whole-genome sequencing variant data. ```R library(SeqArray) # the VCF file, using the example in the SeqArray package vcf.fn <- seqExampleFileName("vcf") # or vcf.fn <- "C:/YourFolder/Your_VCF_File.vcf.gz" # convert, save in "tmp.gds" with the default lzma compression algorithm seqVCF2GDS(vcf.fn, "test.gds") ``` ``` ## Tue Mar 20 13:53:38 2018 ## Variant Call Format (VCF) Import: ## file(s): ## CEU_Exon.vcf.gz (226.0K) ## file format: VCFv4.0 ## the number of sets of chromosomes (ploidy): 2 ## the number of samples: 90 ## genotype storage: bit2 ## compression method: LZMA_RA ## Output: ## test.gds ## Parsing 'CEU_Exon.vcf.gz': ## + genotype/data { Bit2 2x90x1348 LZMA_ra, 42B } ## Digests: ## sample.id [md5: ac460b05cf0de81d3a307259fb908238] ## variant.id [md5: c9602a5420b6a5a148f5a0120a8750e1] ## position [md5: a23801beb47fb2d7ca26b65d2b71e622] ## chromosome [md5: a46ad5529a68298eb581c7c66b31b99b] ## allele [md5: e65988a36b2675d1e4f6a9ad9d2774a9] ## genotype [md5: 318c71bd2c1878e7d05c6e4b8b3067ef] ## phase [md5: 4873107397a2eec80cca77d8fa09592b] ## annotation/id [md5: 164df6a971c24c99ad386bbaf8759cb2] ## annotation/qual [md5: ff3b3c516fe7081c406d4c26782b44e4] ## annotation/filter [md5: 5b09a6e58b307857c38e3d82284dfff0] ## annotation/info/AA [md5: 7bba129ada9e50a98db7451044abdde9] ## annotation/info/AC [md5: 79076139f25b3f78164182af5d86c680] ## annotation/info/AN [md5: b4c305461e62a78dc439f7a1df50e5fc] ## annotation/info/DP [md5: 9f358649989b5fd48fba25b6b50af02f] ## annotation/info/HM2 [md5: 9b792cdd10840bdda63d77a1ce065588] ## annotation/info/HM3 [md5: b936dc73a3ffa1241305dfdcc14d71e1] ## annotation/info/OR [md5: 6f6f800d686268b592ac50f10c5851b9] ## annotation/info/GP [md5: a1ccfb37b78edd2bb1204c8b9c901b0a] ## annotation/info/BN [md5: 0ac62828c0c8d3d27cbd15aa975532fd] ## annotation/format/DP [md5: d967efdfcb57f3327af2cbf1adc21bbb] ## Done. ## Tue Mar 20 13:53:39 2018 ## Optimize the access efficiency ... ## Clean up the fragments of GDS file: ## open the file 'test.gds' (163.3K) ## # of fragments: 155 ## save to 'test.gds.tmp' ## rename 'test.gds.tmp' (162.3K, reduced: 1.0K) ## # of fragments: 66 ## Tue Mar 20 13:53:39 2018 ``` Get Data: ```R # open a GDS file genofile <- seqOpen("test.gds") ``` It is suggested to use `seqGetData()` to take out data from the SeqArray file since this function can take care of variable-length data and multi-allelic genotypes, although users could also use `read.gdsn()` in the [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) package to read data. ```R # take out sample id head(samp.id <- seqGetData(genofile, "sample.id")) ## [1] "NA06984" "NA06985" "NA06986" "NA06989" "NA06994" "NA07000" # take out variant id head(variant.id <- seqGetData(genofile, "variant.id")) ## [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 # get "chromosome" table(seqGetData(genofile, "chromosome")) ## 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 20 21 22 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ## 142 70 16 62 11 61 46 84 100 54 111 59 59 23 23 81 48 61 99 58 51 29 # get "allele" head(seqGetData(genofile, "allele")) ## [1] "T,C" "G,A" "G,A" "T,C" "G,C" "C,T" # get "annotation/info/GP" head(seqGetData(genofile, "annotation/info/GP")) ## [1] "1:1115503" "1:1115548" "1:1120431" "1:3548136" "1:3548832" "1:3551737" # get "sample.annotation/family" head(seqGetData(genofile, "sample.annotation/family")) ## [1] "1328" "" "13291" "1328" "1340" "1340" ``` Users can set a filter to samples and/or variants by `seqSetFilter()`. For example, a subset consisting of three samples and four variants: ```R # set sample and variant filters seqSetFilter(genofile, sample.id=samp.id[c(2,4,6)]) # or seqSetFilter(genofile, sample.sel=c(2,4,6)) ## # of selected samples: 3 set.seed(100) seqSetFilter(genofile, variant.id=sample(variant.id, 4)) # or seqSetFilter(genofile, variant.sel=...) # an integer vector ## # of selected variants: 4 # get "allele" seqGetData(genofile, "allele") ## [1] "T,A" "G,A" "G,C" "A,G" ``` Get genotypic data, it is a 3-dimensional array with respect to allele, sample and variant. 0 refers to the reference allele (or the first allele in the variable allele), 1 for the second allele, and so on, while NA is missing allele. ```R # get genotypic data seqGetData(genofile, "genotype") ## , , 1 ## sample ## allele [,1] [,2] [,3] ## [1,] 0 0 0 ## [2,] 0 0 0 ## ## , , 2 ## sample ## allele [,1] [,2] [,3] ## [1,] 1 0 0 ## [2,] 0 0 0 ## ## , , 3 ## sample ## allele [,1] [,2] [,3] ## [1,] 0 0 0 ## [2,] 0 0 0 ## ## , , 4 ## sample ## allele [,1] [,2] [,3] ## [1,] 0 0 0 ## [2,] 0 0 0 ``` Get regular genotypes (i.e., genotype dosage, or the number of copies of reference allele), it is an integer matrix. ```R # get the dosage of reference allele seqGetData(genofile, "$dosage") ## variant ## sample [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] ## [1,] 2 1 2 2 ## [2,] 2 2 2 2 ## [3,] 2 2 2 2 # close the file seqClose(genofile) ``` $~$ # Data Analysis We developed [gdsfmt](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/gdsfmt/) and [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) (high-performance computing R packages for multi-core symmetric multiprocessing computer architectures) to accelerate two key computations in GWAS: principal component analysis (PCA) and relatedness analysis using identity-by-descent (IBD) measures. ```{r} # Open the GDS file genofile <- snpgdsOpen(snpgdsExampleFileName()) ``` ```{r} # Get population information # or pop_code <- scan("pop.txt", what=character()) # if it is stored in a text file "pop.txt" pop_code <- read.gdsn(index.gdsn(genofile, path="sample.annot/pop.group")) table(pop_code) # Display the first six values head(pop_code) ``` $~$ ## LD-based SNP pruning It is suggested to use a pruned set of SNPs which are in approximate linkage equilibrium with each other to avoid the strong influence of SNP clusters in principal component analysis and relatedness analysis. ```{r} set.seed(1000) # Try different LD thresholds for sensitivity analysis snpset <- snpgdsLDpruning(genofile, ld.threshold=0.2) names(snpset) head(snpset$chr1) # snp.id # Get all selected snp id snpset.id <- unlist(unname(snpset)) head(snpset.id) ``` $~$ ## Principal Component Analysis (PCA) The functions in [SNPRelate](http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SNPRelate/) for PCA include calculating the genetic covariance matrix from genotypes, computing the correlation coefficients between sample loadings and genotypes for each SNP, calculating SNP eigenvectors (loadings), and estimating the sample loadings of a new dataset from specified SNP eigenvectors. ```{r} # Run PCA pca <- snpgdsPCA(genofile, snp.id=snpset.id, num.thread=2) ``` The code below shows how to calculate the percent of variation is accounted for by the top principal components.
