= Summary Files Specification for RAREMETAL =
RAREMETAL use summary statistics files to perform meta-analysis. These includes (1) score statistics file and (2) covariance file.
Both [[RAREMETALWORKER|RAREMETALWORKER]] and [http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Rvtests '''rvtests'''] can generate these summary statistics files.
== Input score test statistics file ==
Header lines begins with '#' or 'CHROM'. After header part, we listed the meaning of each column as following:

Covariance test statistics contains the LD matrix among a variant and the adjacent markers within a prefixed-sized window. The default window size is 1MB. It has the following format:
# CHROM Chromosome
# COV (rvtests only) Covariance matrix between test statistics
CHR POS VAR_POS_IN_WINDOW LD_MATRIX

Later version of rvtests will also generate tabix index file, prefix.MetaCov.assoc.gz
