Incoprorate PEER factors as covariates in the analysis

[yangchuhua]

I wonder if I use --covariates to add PEER factors for my analysis or the nf-qtlmap pipeline can also run the PEER factors calculation process.

--covariates                  Comma-separated list of additional covariates included in the analysis (e.g. sex, age, batch). Columns with the exact same names should exist in the sample metadata file. 

Thanks for your help and time.

I wonder when you ran sQTLs mapping of your publication results how many PEER factors were included? Do you have any suggestion for this?
