Introduction
The software in this package aims to support refinements and functional interpretation of members of a collection of association statistics on a family of feature \(\times\) genome hypotheses. provide a basis for refinement or functional interpretation.
We take for granted the use of the gQTL* infrastructure for testing and management of test results. We use for examples elements of the geuvPack and geuvStore2 packages.
Basic infrastructure for statistics on a distributed store of eQTL results
We work with a ciseStore instance based on a small subset of transcriptome-wide cis-eQTL tests for GEUVADIS FPKM data. The overall testing procedure was conducted for all SNP:probe pairs for which SNP minor allele frequency (MAF) is at least 1% and for which the minimum distance between SNP and either boundary of the gene coding region for the probe is at most 1 million bp.

Quantile estimation is very memory-efficient, based on a temporary ff representation of the vector of all association test results.

Because we compute fixed breaks, contributions to the overall histogram can be assembled in parallel, with small footprint. This is a tremendous reduction of data.

FDR computation is post-hoc relative to filtering that need not be specified prior to testing. For illustration, we survey the results in geuvStore2 to obtain FDRs for each SNP:probe pair in two forms. First, we obtain FDR without any filtering. Second, we compute an a FDR for those SNP:probe pairs separated by at most 500kb, and for which the MAF for the SNP is at least 5 per cent.

## No interpolating function is available; use 'setFDRfunc'.The filtering leads to a lower FDR for a given strength of association. This is an inspiration for sensitivity analysis. Even with 5 million observations there is an effect of histogram bin selection in summarizing the permutation distribution of association. This can be seen fairly clearly in the wiggliness of the trace over the unfiltered association score:FDR plot.
rawtab = getTab(rawFDR)
filttab = getTab(filtFDR)
plot(rawtab[-(1:10),"assoc"],
-log10(rawtab[-(1:10),"fdr"]+1e-6), log="x", axes=FALSE,

legend(1, 5, pch=c(1,2), legend=c("all loci", "MAF >= 0.05 & dist <= 500k"))
We’ll address this below by fitting smooth functions for the score:FDR relationship.
Estimates of FDR at the probe level
The storeToFDRByProbe FDR function examines the maximal association score by gene, for observed and permuted measures.
Good performance of this procedure is obtained by using group_by and summarize utilities of dplyr. Iteration employs foreach.
fdbp = storeToFDRByProbe( prst, xprobs=c(seq(.025,.975,.025),.99))
tail(getTab(fdbp),5)fdAtM05bp = storeToFDRByProbe( prst, filter=function(x) x[which(x$MAF > .05)],
xprobs=c(seq(.025,.975,.025),.99))
tail(getTab(fdAtM05bp),5)Modeling the association-FDR relationship to support efficient variant selection and annotation
Choosing a smooth model for the association:FDR relationship
We’ll focus here on all-pairs analysis, with and without filtering.
Especially in this small example there will be some wiggling or even non-monotonicity in the trace of empirical FDR against association. We want to be able to compute the approximate FDR quickly and with minimal assumptions and pathology. To accomplish this, we will bind an interpolating model to the FDR estimates that we have. Interpolation will be accomplished with scatterplot smoothing in the mgcv framework.
The code that is used to fit the interpolating model is
fdrmod = gam(-log10(fdr+fudge)~s(assoc,bs="tp"), data=...,
subset=assoc<(1.1*maxch))where fudge defaults to 1e-6 and maxch defaults to 30

More work is needed on assessing tolerability of relative error in FDR interpolation.
Enumerating significant cis-eQTL in a store
Recall that dmfilt is a function that obtains the SNP-probe pairs for which SNP has MAF at least five percent and SNP-probe distance at most 500kbp.
We use the FDRsupp instances with ciseStore to list the SNP-probe pairs with FDR lying beneath a given upper bound.

The yield of an enumeration procedure depends on filtering based on SNP-gene distance and SNP MAF. This can be illustrated as follows, with minimal computational effort owing to the retention of genome-scale permutations and the use of the plug-in FDR algorithm.
data(sensByProbe) # see example(senstab) for construction approach
tab = senstab( sensByProbe )
plot(tab)
If we wish to maximize the yield of eQTL enumeration at FDR at most 0.05, we can apply a filter to the store.

length(x[ which(x$MAF >= .08 & x$mindist <= 25000), ] )

We have a utility to create an annotated Manhattan plot for a search cis to a gene. The basic ingredients are
- a
ciseStoreinstance for basic location and association information - a gene identifier that works for that store
- an
FDRsuppinstance that includes the function that maps from association scores to FDR, and the filter employed during FDR estimation - an annotation resource; here we use ChromHMM labeling based on NA12878, in the
hmm878GRanges instance in gQTLstats/data.
It is important to recognize that, given an FDRsupp instance we can compute the FDR for any association score, but validity of the FDR attribution requires that we refrain from computing it for any locus excluded by filtering. the manhWngr executes the FDRsupp-resident filter by default.

Statistical modeling of phenorelevance of variant contexts, based on a cis-eQTL store
The following tasks need to be addressed in the modeling of phenorelevance
- Definition of outcome for a variant. In this example we consider identification of a variant as an NHGRI GWAS catalog hit.
- Definition of variant context. In this example we use Broad Institute ChromHMM states for NA12878, along with other information assembled in the store on MAF and distance
- Definition of the statistical model. We consider logistic regression modeling of the probability that a variant is a GWAS hit, employing LD-pruned variants only.
- Identification of a tractable approach to fitting and evaluating the statistical model. We’ll use a test-train framework.
Visiting variants and updating with the relevant context and outcomes
We will make a temporary reconstruction of geuvStore2 contents with the enhanced information.
Support for trans-eQTL identification
The workhorse function is AllAssoc. The interface is
args(AllAssoc)## function (summex, vcf.tf, variantRange, rhs = ~1, nperm = 3,
## genome = "hg19", assayind = 1, lbmaf = 1e-06, lbgtf = 1e-06,
## dropUnivHet = TRUE, infoFields = c("LDAF", "SVTYPE"))
## NULLThis differs from cisAssoc through the addition of a variantRange argument.
The basic operation will be as follows. For a given RangedSummarizedExperiment instance summex, all features will be tested for association with all SNP in the variantRange restriction of the VCF identified in vcf.tf. The basic iteration strategy is
tile the genome to obtain chunks of SNPs
decompose the SE into chunks of transcriptome (or other ’ome)
for each chunk of SNPs, for each chunk of transcriptome, seek associations and retain the top K in a buffering structure
Management of this buffering structure needs work.
