Given the files in HAP/LEGEND/SAMPLE format used by SHAPEI2, I intend to feed them into REHH2 R package. However, the alleles in HAP file is coded as 0, 1. The REHH hyplotype input file has alleles coded as A, C, T, and G. Is there any solution to convert numeric alleles into letters? Thank you in advance for ideas, solutions and questions.

I followed your link to get a better idea about your data. So what you have is e.g.:

0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1
0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1

Which you want to convert back to:

               SNP1  SNP2  SNP3
CEU1   hap1     A     T     A
CEU1   hap2     A     C     T
CEU2   hap1     G     C     T
CEU2   hap2     A     T     A
GBR1   hap1     A     T     T
GBR1   hap2     A     C     T
YRI1   hap1     G     T     T
YRI1   hap2     G     C     T

Do you also know the reference and alternative allele per position?

Haven't tried the new REHH2 R package, but selscan https://github.com/szpiech/selscan was much faster than the previous version. Also, it can read the output files from SHAPEIT directly without any modifications.

Thanks a lot for the comments! I figured out the solution. In R the haplotype numerical file (hap) can be converted into literal given the LEGEND (map) as follow:

library(data.table)
haps <- haps[, lapply(.SD, function(x) {
  ifelse(x == 0, map[, a0], map[, a1])
})]

Hi,

What is haps, .SD and map in your code?

ADD REPLY • link 7.3 years ago by manay ▴ 10

map is data table containing data from *.legend file. haps is data table containing data from *.haplotypes file.

*.legend and *.haplotypes are produced by SHAPEIT2.0 as a result of phasing.

.SD is a symbol used specifically in data.table R package. It means "Subset of Data.table". In the code above it results in applying function(x) to each column of hap.

Thank you for your explanation. I have never used SHAPEIT before. I have a data set in the following way(it is just small part of my dataset) in R:

        134788398   134792091   134793655   134794177

NA06989_A   A   A   G   G
NA06989_B   A   A   G   G
NA10850_A   G   A   G   G
NA10850_B   G   G   A   G
NA06984_A   G   G   A   G
NA06984_B   A   A   G   G
NA11917_A   G   A   A   T
NA11917_B   A   A   G   G

I need to obtain data frames etc. which have same content with hap and legend file to use in R. I hope I can explain clearly. Do you have any idea how can I figure out it? Thank you very much.

Ok, great! The genotypes in HAP file are classified into first and second alleles (a0, a1). In order to convert the data set you provided into HAP format, we need to know the classifier. The other words, the rule by which the alleles are marked as "first" or "second" ones should be provided.

Sometimes, the classification is made on the base of allele frequency in the population. For example, the most two frequent alleles become "first" and "second" one, respectively.

Any ideas on which allele will be the first or second? If there is no clue, describe the final step of your research. I'll try to figure out. Feel free to send me a personal message.

In my case, I think it doesn't matter. I am trying to order haplotypes by the focal SNP. As a result, I will try to obtain a graph which identifies similarities between populations. For example, I can code in that way:

A and T ==> 0 G and C ==> 1

 Thank you very much your great help. I will try your solution. After you ask me about clasification,
 I couldn't be sure about my classification rule. I found a legend file of my prof. 
You can see a small part of this file. Do you have any idea about his classification rule according to the following list?

rs              position        X0  X1
rs11888260  136272200   A   G
rs313518    136272822   C   T

Your are welcome! It is difficult to figure out the allele classification looking at the data. Obviously, it is either task specific or not. I would check next step of pipeline. Which tool, package will further consume the data? I would read the manual of this tool regarding the requirements for the input data. I would also check the algorithm, math behind this tool.

How do "Classify genotypes" and "Code genotypes" parts should look like, if I want to code randomly?

Hi Gennady,

I am trying to run following code but it gives an error.

result<- sorted[, lapply(.SD, function(x) {
  ifelse(x == 0, legend$a0, legend$a1)
})]

Error in .subset(x, j) : invalid subscript type 'list'

How can I fix it?

Thanks

Could you provide a reproducible code? It should reflect how sorted and legend variable were defined. Paste also examples of data sets loaded into sorted and legend.

sorted has class data.frame. The above code I used to convert numerical haplotypes into lateral ones works if this variable has class data.table. Not all data.table syntax can be applied for data.frame. Possible quick fix:

library(data.table)

# Convert data.frame into data.table 
sorted <- data.table(sorted)
legend <- data.table(legend)

# Convert haplotypes 
result <-  sorted[, lapply(.SD, function(x) {  
    ifelse(x == 0, legend[, a0], legend[, a1]) 
})]

I see thank you very much for your interest.

It works but it assigns 1,2,3,4 instead of A,T,G,C according to legend. Why?

Cause legend$a0 and legend$a1 are factors. Convert them into character class.

require(data.table)

I want to use IVAS for sQTL analysis and it accepts only allelic encoding of genotypes, so that they should be two letters of A,C,G,T

The format of my vcf file is like this:

#CHROM  POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  108 139 159 265

1   73  .   C   A   40  PASS    .   GT:DP:GQ    0|0:5:40    0|0:9:40    0|0:6:38    ./.:.:.
