'''You may want to learn about new and improved [[Minimac4]].'''
 
'''minimac''' is a low memory, computationally efficient implementation of the MaCH algorithm for genotype imputation. It is designed to work on phased genotypes and can handle very large reference panels with hundreds or thousands of haplotypes. The name has two parts. The first, "mini", refers to the modest amount of computational resources it requires. The second, "mac", is short hand for [[MaCH]], our widely used algorithm for genotype imputation.
There are several minimac related pages on this wiki. The major ones are: * [[Minimac]] - This page, the main minimac page.* [[Minimac: Tutorial]] - A short minimac tutorial.* [[Minimac: 1000 Genomes Imputation Cookbook]] - Cookbook instructions for 1000 Genomes Imputation with Minimac* [[Minimac Command Reference]] - Summary of minimac options* [[Minimac Diagnostics]] - Summary of diagnostics for imputation performance generated by minimac *[https://imputationserver.sph.umich.edu Imputation server] - We are running imputation (and pre-phasing) for you!   =Download =A binary Linux (64 bit) version of minimac is available [http://csg.sph.umich.edu/cfuchsb/minimac-beta-2013.7.17.tgz from here] and source code [http://csg.sph.umich.edu/cfuchsb/minimac.src.tgz from here] The current version of minimac should be stamped 2013.7.17 - if your version shows a different version number or date stamp when it runs, it is not current.  If you use this beta version, please be sure to stop by the [http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/MaCH/download/ MaCH download page] and fill out the registration form, so that we can let you know when an official release is available and keep you updated with respect to any bug fixes.  == Multiprocessor Version == The current version of minimac comes in two flavours, <code>minimac</code> and <code>minimac-omp</code>. The latter version uses the [[OpenMP]] protocol to support multi-threading, resulting in faster throughput. BE AWARE: since this version of minimac runs in parallel the order of samples in the output files (*dose, *haps,...) will vary between runs. Therefore, e.g. chunks have to be merged by sample id. == Change log == 2013.7.17 - minor bug fixes -- all variants (SNPs, InDels, SVs) in the reference VCF will be imputed - independent from the FILTER column setting - improved performance (Thanks to David Hinds - see also [[minimac2]] for the full set of performance improvements) 2012.11.16 - minor bug fixes 2012.10.9 - added: improved support for [http://www.shapeit.fr ShapeIT] phased haplotypes 2012.10.3 - added: full support for reference panel based chunking 2012.9.22 - fixed: chunk chromosome bug 2012.8.6 (early adopter) - added: chromosome X support 2012.3.14 - fixed: problem with --startposition  2012.2.29 - added: VCF support - added: IDR (Insertion, Deletion, Reference) support == Questions and Comments == Please contact [mailto:goncalo@umich.edu Goncalo Abecasis] or [mailto:cfuchsb@umich.edu Christian Fuchsberger]. = Performance = == Pre-phasing ==For the pre-phasing step, cost increases quadratically with the number of states and linearly with the number of rounds. The following table provides a simple example. {| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"|- bgcolor="lightgray"! States! Cost per round|- | 100 states| 3 min|- | 200 states| 12 min = (3 min * 2<sup>2</sup>)|- | 400 states| 48 min = (3 min * 4<sup>2</sup>)|- | 500 states| 75 min = (3 min * 5<sup>2</sup>)|} So, in this case running haplotyping with 500 states and 10 rounds would require 75 min * 10 = 750 min. Typically, haplotype quality improves rapidly with the number of states but only slowly with the number of rounds. We recommend running ~20 rounds of the MaCH haplotyper and selecting a number of states as high as your patience will allow (but ideally greater than 200). == Imputation == 
A good rule of thumb is that minimac should take about 1 hour to impute 1,000,000 markers in 1,000 individuals using a reference panel with 100 haplotypes. Performance should scale linearly with respect to all these factors. So, your approximate computing time in hours should be about:
</math>
These statistics refer to a single core in a modern Intel X7460 CPU running at 2.66 GHz using 1 core and , although your mileage may will vary; , most modern CPUs should be no more than a few times faster (or slower) than that. The parallel version  If you are estimating model parameters at the same time as imputing missing genotypes, you can account for the time needed for parameter estimation with the following formula: :<math>E(\mbox{Run Time in Hours}) = N_{markers} * ({N_{individuals} + N_{rounds} * N_{states} * 0.75 }) * N_{haplotypes} * 10^{-11}</math> In this updated formula, N<sub>rounds</sub> represents the number of iterations used for parameter refinement and N<sub>states</sub> represents the maximum number of minimac will achieve an even better performancereference and target haplotypes considered for each update. = Getting Started =
== Release Date ==Using minimac for genotype imputation involves two steps. First, you will have to estimate haplotypes for your entire sample -- this will be the more computationally demanding step. Once that is done, you will be ready to quickly impute missing genotypes using the reference panel of your choice.
A public release of <code>minimac</code> is expected here by October 5, 2010.== Estimating Haplotypes for Your Sample ==
== Getting Started ==For the haplotyping step, we current recommend using [[MaCH]] with the --phase command line option. As input [[MaCH]] will need [[Merlin]] format pedigree and data files. All markers should be ordered according to their physical position and alleles should be labeled on the forward strand.
=== Preparing Your Own Data ===
To get started, you will need to store your data in [[Merlin]] format pedigree and data files, one per chromosome. For details, of the Merlin file format, see the [http:/www/csg.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/Merlin/tour/input_files.html Merlin tutorialTutorial].
Within each file, markers should be stored by chromosome position. Alleles should be stored in the forward strand and can be encoded as 'A', 'C', 'G' or 'T' (there is no need to use numeric identifiers for each allele).
The We recommend that, if at all possible, you should phase your chromosomes according to NCBI build 37. Future releases of the 1000 Genome pilot project genotypes Genomes Reference panel and other public sets of reference haplotypes are expected to use this genome build. If figuring out position and strand for each marker seems like hard work, don't despair. For you, this should be the hardest bit of the entire process! For the computer, the fun is about to start. ==== NCBI build 36 / NCBI Build build 37 ====The 1000G June reference panel is on build 36, future 1000G reference panels will be on build 37. This has also some impact on the pre-phasing:some SNPs will ordered differently in each genome build (we expect order will be more accurate in more recent builds!). Purists will claim that imputation using NCBI build 36 and NCBI build 37 reference panels requires phasing using the exact same reference panel -- others will claim this makes little difference. === Running MaCH === A typical MaCH command line to estimate phased haplotypes might look like this:  mach1 -d sample.dat -p sample.ped --rounds 20 --states 200 --phase --interim 5 --sample 5 --compact This will request that MaCH estimate haplotypes for your sample, using 20 iterations of its Markov sampler and conditioning each update on up to 200 haplotypes. A summary description of these parameters follows (but for a more complete description, you should go to the MaCH website): {| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"|- bgcolor="lightgray"! Parameter ! Description|- |style=white-space:nowrap|<code>-d sample.dat</code>| Data file in [http://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/Merlin/tour/input_files.html Merlin format]. Markers should be listed according to their order along the chromosome.|- | <code>-p sample.ped</code>| Pedigree file in [http://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/Merlin/tour/input_files.html Merlin format]. Alleles should be labeled on the forward strand.|-| <code>--states 200</code>| Number of haplotypes to consider during each update. Increasing this value will typically lead to better haplotypes, but can dramatically increase computing time and memory use. A value of 200 - 400 is typical. |-| <code>--rounds 20</code>| Iterations of the Markov sampler to use for haplotyping. Typically, using 20 - 30 rounds should give good results. To obtain better results, it is usually better to increase the <code>--states</code> parameter.|-| <code>--interim 5</code>| Request that intermediate results should be saved to disk periodically. These will facilitate analyses in case a run doesn't complete.|-| <code>--sample 5</code>| Request that random (but plausible) sets of haplotypes for each individual should be drawn every 5 iterations. This parameter is optional, but for some rare variant analyses, these alternative haplotypes can be very useful.|- | <code>--phase</code> | Tell [[MaCH]] to estimate phased haplotypes for each individual.|-| <code>--compact</code>| Reduce memory use at the cost of approximately doubling runtime. This option is recommended for most GWAS scale datasets and computing platforms.|} == Imputation into Phased Haplotypes == Imputing genotypes using '''minimac''' is an easy and straightforward process: after selecting a set of reference haplotypes, plugging-in the target haplotypes from the previous step and setting the number of rounds to use for the model parameter estimation, imputation should proceed rapidly. === Creating SNP List File === '''Minimac''' requires a file listing markers in the haplotype file. This file can be easily generated by extracting the second column from the .dat file. In a standard Unix system, a command like this should do:  cut -f 2 -d " " sample.dat > target.snps === Running Minimac === A typical minimac command line might look like this: ==== using a VCF reference panel ==== minimac --vcfReference --refHaps ref.vcf.gz --haps target.hap.gz --snps target.snps.gz --rounds 5 --states 200 --prefix results '''Note''': GWAS SNPs (file --snps target.snps.gz) are by default expected to be in the chr:pos format e.g. 1:1000 and on build37/hg19; otherwise, please set the --rs flag ==== using a MaCH reference panel ====  minimac --refHaps ref.hap.gz --refSnps ref.snps.gz --haps target.hap.gz --snps target.snps.gz --rounds 5 --states 200 --prefix results A detailed description of all minimac options is available [[Minimac Command Reference|elsewhere]]. Here is a brief description of the above parameters: {| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"|- bgcolor="lightgray"! Parameter !

=== Reference Haplotypes ===
Reference haplotypes generated by the 1000 Genomes project and formatted so that they are ready for analysis are available from the [http://wwwcsg.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/MACH/download/1000G-2010-06.html MaCH download page]. The As of this writing, the most recent set of haplotypes are based on genotype calls were generated in June 2010 by combining genotype calls generated at May 2011 and are an interim analysis of Project's Phase I data. === Imputation quality evaluation ===To evaluate imputation quality, Minimac hides data for each genotyped SNP in turn and calculates 3 statistics:* looRSQ - this is the estimated rsq for that SNP (as if SNP weren't typed). * empR - this is the empirical correlation between true and imputed genotypes for the SNP. If this is negative, the SNP is probably flipped. * empRSQ - this is the Broadactual R2 value, Sanger comparing imputed and true genotypes.  These statistics can be found in the .info file === Additional Sources of Information === If the University combination of MichiganMaCH and Minimac still runs too slowly for you, and you have access to a multi-processor compute cluster, you can look at [[ChunkChromosome]] page to learn how to conveniently split each chromosome into multiple segments that can be analyzed in parallel.
