snpgdsCreateGeno {SNPRelate} | R Documentation

## Create a SNP genotype dataset from a matrix

### Description

To create a GDS file of genotypes from a matrix.

### Usage

    snpgdsCreateGeno(gds.fn, genmat, sample.id=NULL, snp.id=NULL, snp.rs.id=NULL,
        snp.chromosome=NULL, snp.position=NULL, snp.allele=NULL, snpfirstdim=TRUE,
        compress.annotation="ZIP_RA.max", compress.geno="", other.vars=NULL)

### Arguments

`gds.fn` | the file name of gds
`genmat` | a matrix of genotypes
`sample.id` | the sample ids, which should be unique
`snp.id` | the SNP ids, which should be unique
`snp.rs.id` | the rs ids for SNPs, which can be not unique
`snp.chromosome` | the chromosome indices
`snp.position` | the SNP positions in basepair
`snp.allele` | the reference/non-reference alleles
`snpfirstdim` | if TRUE, genotypes are stored in the individual-major mode, (i.e, list all SNPs for the first individual, and then list all SNPs for the second individual, etc)
`compress.annotation` | the compression method for the variables except `genotype`
`compress.geno` | the compression method for the variable `genotype`
`other.vars` | a list object storing other variables

### Details

There are possible values stored in the variable `genmat`: 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.

If `snpfirstdim` is `TRUE`, then `genmat` should be “# of SNPs X # of samples”; if `snpfirstdim` is `FALSE`, then `genmat` should be “# of samples X # of SNPs”.

The typical variables specified in `other.vars` are “sample.annot” and “snp.annot”, which are data.frame objects.

### Value

None.

### Examples

    # load data
    data(hapmap_geno)

    # create a gds file
    with(hapmap_geno, snpgdsCreateGeno("test.gds", genmat=genotype,
        sample.id=sample.id, snp.id=snp.id, snp.chromosome=snp.chromosome,
        snp.position=snp.position, snp.allele=snp.allele, snpfirstdim=TRUE))

    # open the gds file
    genofile <- snpgdsOpen("test.gds")

    RV <- snpgdsPCA(genofile)
    plot(RV$eigenvect[,2], RV$eigenvect[,1], xlab="PC 2", ylab="PC 1")

    # close the file
    snpgdsClose(genofile)
