Installation

Download and install Julia. Within Julia, copy and paste the following:

using Pkg
pkg"add MendelImpute"

This package supports Julia v1.6+.

Documentation

Example run:

The following uses data under the data/ directory.

# load package & cd to data directory
using MendelImpute
cd(normpath(MendelImpute.datadir()))

# compress reference haplotypes from .vcf.gz to .jlso format
reffile = "ref.excludeTarget.vcf.gz"       # reference VCF file
tgtfile = "target.typedOnly.masked.vcf.gz" # target VCF file (GWAS file)
outfile = "ref.excludeTarget.jlso"         # output file name (end in .jlso)
@time compress_haplotypes(reffile, tgtfile, outfile)

# phase & impute (note: 2nd run will be much faster because code is compiled)
tgtfile = "target.typedOnly.masked.vcf.gz" # target VCF file (GWAS file)
reffile = "ref.excludeTarget.jlso"         # compressed reference file
outfile = "imputed.vcf.gz"                 # output file name
@time phase(tgtfile, reffile, outfile);

# check error rate (since data was simulated)
using VCFTools
Ximputed = convert_gt(Float64, "imputed.vcf.gz")  # imputed genotypes
Xtrue = convert_gt(Float64, "target.full.vcf.gz") # true genotypes
m, n = size(Xtrue) # matrix dimensions
error_rate = sum(Xtrue .!= Ximputed) / m / n

We also support PLINK binary files (.bed/.bim/.fam) via SnpArrays.jl and BGEN files .bgen via BGEN.jl.

For more realistic example, see detailed example in documentation
