MetaMinimac

MetaMinimac is a tool to merge GWAS data imputed against different reference panels (using minimac4)

<<< SEE https://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/MetaMinimac FOR DOCUMENTATION >>>

Users should follow the following steps to compile MetaMinimac

Prerequisites

Automatic installation of MetaMinimac requires cget and cmake v3.2. These prerequisites can be installed as follows:

Ubuntu 16.04

sudo apt-get install cmake python-pip python-dev
pip install cget

Ubuntu 14.04

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake python-pip python-dev
pip install cget

MacOS

brew install cmake
sudo easy-install pip
pip install --user cget --ignore-installed six

Installation

The easiest way to install MetaMinimac and its dependencies is to use the install.sh file provided.

cd MetaMinimac
bash install.sh

Alternatively, you can setup a dev environment cmake directly.

cd MetaMinimac
cget install -f ./requirements.txt                      # Install dependencies locally.
mkdir build && cd build                                 # Create out of source build directory.
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cget/cget/cget.cmake .. # Configure project with dependency paths.
make                                                    # Build.

Usage

A typical MetaMinimac command line for imputation is as follows

MetaMinimac -i ImputedPrefix1:ImputedPrefix2 \
            -o testRunPrefix 

Here ImputedPrefix1 and ImputedPrefix1 are the prefixes of the same GWAS data imputed against different reference panels (using minimac4)
