− | == Key Features ==
| |
− | '''RAREMETAL''' has the following features:
| |
− | * '''RAREMETAL''' performs gene-based or region-based meta analysis using Burden tests with the following methods: CMC_counts, Madsen-Browning, SKAT, and Variable Threshold.
| |
− | * '''RAREMETAL''' performs single variant metal-analysis by default.
| |
− | * '''RAREMETAL''' allows customized groups of variants to be tested.
| |
− | * '''RAREMETAL''' allows conditional analysis to be performed in both gene-level meta-analysis and single variants meta-analysis.
| |
− | * '''RAREMETAL''' generate QQ plots and manhattan plots by default.

− | '''RAREMETAL''' is a computationally efficient tool for meta-analysis of rare variants using sequencing or genotyping array data. '''RAREMETAL''' takes summary statistics and LD matrices generated by [[Rare-Metal-Worker|'''RAREMETALWORKER''']] or [http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Rvtests '''rvtests'''], handles related and unrelated individuals, and supports both single variant and burden meta-analysis. '''RAREMETAL''' generates high quality plots by default and has options that allow users to build reports at different levels. | + | '''RAREMETAL''' is a computationally efficient tool for meta-analysis of rare variants using sequencing or genotyping array data.

− | * In a study of sample size N, if a site is monomorphic or not reported in vcf/ped, it is considered that the sample size of this study is not large enough to sample the rare allele. Thus, this study contributes 2*N reference alleles and 0 alternative allele towards meta-analysis.
