In alexploner/GeneCorrAtlas: Display the Atlas of Genetic Correlations (Bulik-Sullivan et al. 2015)

GeneCorrAtlas

Bulik-Sullivan and co-authors presented a matrix of genome-wide genetic correlations derived via linkage-disequilibrium regression. The resulting correlations are available both from the supplementary material of the original article and from github in an easily readable, alas somewhat dry text format (.csv).

This R package wraps the data and offers simple but convenient tools for extracting and displaying these genetic correlations from the R commandline.

Installation

To install GeneCorrAtlas from github, you need the devtools package in your R environment. If you have not done so yet, start a fresh R session and run

install.packages("devtools")

This will install the developer tools and their dependencies. Now you can easily install VEGAStools via

devtools::install_github("alexploner/GeneCorrAtlas")

and you are good to go.

Getting started

While you are at the R command line, have a look at the package vignette:

vignette("GeneCorrAtlas_inR")

This will give you a quick overview of how to access and display the data.

Disclaimer

I'm not affiliated with the group that has calculated these correlations (see links above), I just provide tools for easy access to their excellent work.
