haploxt is a C/C++ software developed by Yun Li and Goncalo Abecasis. It calculates LD (D' and r²) from phased haplotypes.

Input Files

Required Input

Haplotype File

Fed to the option --haps or -h, the input haplotype file is in the form of one haplotype per line (no delimiter between alleles). The file could contain fields other than the actual haplotypes but must proceed the actual haplotype field. Allele coding is flexible: accepted coding includes 1234, ACGT, 12, AB etc.

Sample haplotype file 1:

SNP File

Fed to the option --snps or -s, the input SNP file is a list of SNP name in the same order as in the haplotype file. One SNP per line.

Sample SNP file:
SNP1
SNP2
SNP3
...

Optional Input

Relevant SNP File

Fed to the option --relevant or -r, the relevant SNP file is a list of SNPs among which LD values are desired.

Options

--allelefrequency

Option to calculate allele frequency and output to prefix.freq.

--allelecounts

Option to calculate allele counts and output to prefix.ac.

--ld

Option to calculate LD. Note that this option has to be turned on for LD to be calculated.

--windowSize

Option to specify the # of flanking SNPs with which LD values are calculated for each SNP. Default is 1,000, meaning that LD with 1,000 SNPs on each side (2,000 total) will be calculated for each SNP.

--r2Threshold

Minimum r2 value for a pair of SNPs to be in output. Default is 0.00.

--DprimeThreshold

Minimum D' value for a pair of SNPs to be in output. Default is 0.00.

--pairWithSNP

Option to calcuate LD only with a particular SNP.

--pairWithList

A list of SNPs with which LD values will be calculated.

--coupling

Option to output for each pair the alleles that are positively correlated.

--prefix

Option to specify output prefix.

Output

.freq

Generated when option --allelefrequency is turned on.
