Does some standard qc of snp files before gwas. Mainly maf and missing filter. Also filters for single allele snps. Extra calls to plink2 can be included to filter in more ways.

Usage

snp_qc_plink(
  genotype.path,
  min.maf = 0.05,
  max.missing.snp = 0.1,
  sample.list.path = NULL,
  plink.path = NULL,
  out.dir = NULL,
  out.prefix = NULL,
  extra.options = NULL
)

Arguments

genotype.path

character, path to genotype file, supported types: '.bed', .'vcf', '.vcf.gz'.

min.maf

numeric, filtering cutoff for minor allele frequency, snps are removed if they have maf less than this value. To ignore set to 0.

max.missing.snp

numeric, filtering cutoff for missing rate of snps, snps are removed if they have a missing rate higher than this. To ignore set to 1.

sample.list.path

character, optional, path to a list of samples. Samples in file will be included. Sample filtering happens before other filtering per plink's order of operations.

character, optional, path to plink2 executable. If not provided, will default to option set by set_plink_path.

out.dir

character, optional, path to output files. If not provided, will default to option set by set_out_dir

out.prefix

character, optional, prefix for files output.

extra.options

character, a vector of options to include in call to plink2. Should be a vector with plink2 arguments and their values as separate elements of vector. E.G. c("–max-maf", ".95", "–max-alleles", "2")

Value

filtered bed/bim/bam files stored in out.dir. character string of path to bed file.
