Dockerized mvMAPIT

In mvMAPIT: Multivariate Genome Wide Marginal Epistasis Test

In order to enable users to work with mvMAPIT without having to install all dependencies and libraries on their local, we provide a docker build with all dependencies and an installed R package mvMAPIT. Learn how to build your own version of the docker image.

Docker Setup

Follow the official guide to learn how to Get Docker. This is required for being able to follow this tutorial.

Build an Image with mvMAPIT

The github repository of mvMAPIT already comes with a Dockerfile. To build the image, clone the github repository and run the following commands.

cd mvMAPIT
docker build -t mvmapit .

This will produce an image named mvmapit that contains Rstudio, mvMAPIT, and all dependencies.

Run the mvMAPIT Image

With a local copy of the docker image mvmapit available, run the following code.

docker run --rm -ti \
    -e DISABLE_AUTH=true \
    -p 8787:8787 \
    --name my_container \
    mvmapit

This will start the docker container that serves an RStudio application at localhost:8787. In this container, mvMAPIT is already installed and can be imported and run in the R console via the following code.

library(mvMAPIT)
mvmapit(t(simulated_data$genotype[1:100,1:10]),
        t(simulated_data$trait[1:100,]),
        cores = 2, logLevel = "DEBUG")
