WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO INSTALL MVP ON Microsoft R Open(https://mran.microsoft.com/download/)

• The stable version:

install.packages("rMVP")

• The latest version:

devtools::install_github("xiaolei-lab/rMVP")

After installed successfully, MVP can be loaded by typing

library(rMVP)

Typing ?MVP could get the details of all parameters.

For more help on Windows installation, see the wiki page (Chinese)

Data Preparation

Phenotype

back to top
We suggest to provide the phenotype file, users needn't to manually pre-treat the order of phenotype and genotype individuals, MVP could automatically adjust the order of genotype file to be consistent with phenotype file.

PLINK binary

back to top
If you have genotype data in PLINK Binary format (details see http://zzz.bwh.harvard.edu/plink/data.shtml#bed):  

fileBed, name of genotype data in PLINK Binary format
fileKin, TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, kinship matrix represents relationship among individuals will be calculated
filePC, TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, principal component analysis will be performed
out, prefix of output file
priority, "speed" or "memory", the "speed" mode is faster but uses more memory while "memory" is slower but uses less memory
maxLine, number, if priority = "memory", it is the number of markers read into memory

# Full-featured function (Recommended)
MVP.Data(fileBed="plink",
         filePhe=NULL,
         fileKin=FALSE,
         filePC=FALSE,       
         #priority="speed",
         #maxLine=10000,
         out="mvp.plink"
         )
         
# Only convert genotypes
MVP.Data.Bfile2MVP(bfile="plink", out='mvp', maxLine=1e4, priority='speed') # the genotype data should be fully imputed before using this function

Covariates, Covariates matrix, the dimension of Covariates matrix is n * nCV (n is sample size, nCV is number of covariates, no taxa names and header row included
NOTE: If pcs have been added in covariate files, PLEASE DO NOT assign value to nPC.GLM, nPC.MLM, nPC.FarmCPU.

```r
Kinship <- attach.big.matrix("mvp.kin.desc")
Covariates_PC <- bigmemory::as.matrix(attach.big.matrix("mvp.pc.desc"))

If you have additional fixed effects (breed, sex) or covariates (weight), please use it as following:

Covariates <- model.matrix(~as.factor(breed)+as.factor(sex)+as.numeric(weight), data=yourdata)

# if you are supposed to take PC to covariate
Covariates <- cbind(Covariates, Covariates_PC)

NOTE: rMVP has no function of adjusting the order of individuals in covariates. PLEASE make sure the order of individuals in covariates file must be consistent with the output phenotype file of 'MVP.Data'.

If you have prepared Kinship matrix and Covariates data generated by other software packages, see Kinship and Principal Components

Start GWAS

back to top

Three models are included in MVP package: General Linear Model (GLM), Mixed Linear Model (MLM), and FarmCPU.

phe, phenotype data
geno, genotype data
map, map data
K, Kinship matrix
CV.GLM, Covariates added in GLM
CV.MLM, Covariates added in MLM
CV.FarmCPU, Covariates added in FarmCPU
If you don't want to add PCs as covariates, please comment out the parameters instead of setting the nPC to 0
please attention that if nPC.GLM > 0, no PCs should be added in CV.GLM
nPC.GLM, number of first columns of Principal Components added in GLM
please attention that if nPC.MLM > 0, no PCs should be added in CV.MLM
nPC.MLM, number of first columns of Principal Components added in MLM

method.bin, a parameter for FarmCPU only, two options are available: 'static' or 'FaST-LMM'
permutation.threshold, if TRUE, a threshold of permutation will be used in manhattan plot. The phenotypes are permuted to break the relationship with the genotypes. The experiment is replicated for a number of times. A vector of minimum p value of all experiments is recorded and the 95% quantile value of this vector is recommended to be used as significant threshold
permutation.rep, number of permutation replicates, only used when permutation.threshold is TRUE
threshold, 0.05/marker size, a cutoff line on manhattan plot
method, models for association tests, three models are available in MVP, "GLM", "MLM", and "FarmCPU", one or two or three models can be selected for association tests
file.output, a Boolean value or a string vector. If TRUE, output all types of files. If FALSE, no files are output. For string vectors, the available values are c("pmap", "pmap.signal", "plot", "log"). Among them, pmap represents all SNP P-Val files, pmap.signal represents significant SNP files, Plot represents visualization results, and log represents log files.

Output

back to top
MVP automatically outputs high-quality figures, three types of figure formats are available (".jpg",".pdf",".tiff", default is ".jpg"). Users could also adjust the output figure using about 50 parameters in MVP.Report(). MVP.Report() not only accept the final return of MVP(), but also accepts results from third-party software packages, such as PLINK, GEMMA, GAPIT, TASSEL, and FarmCPU. The result from third-party software packages should at least contain four columns, which are marker name, chromosome, physical position, and P-value of a trait, results of more than one trait could be sequentially appended column by column. Typing ?MVP.Report() to see details of all parameters and typing data(pig60K) or data(cattle50K) to load demo datasets. Type ?MVP.Repory to see parameter details.

🆘 Question1: Failing to install "devtools":

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘git2r’

removing ‘/Users/acer/R/3.4/library/git2r’

ERROR: dependency ‘git2r’ is not available for package ‘devtools’

removing ‘/Users/acer/R/3.4/library/devtools’

😋 Answer: Please try following codes in terminal:

apt-get install libssl-dev/unstable

🆘 Question2: When installing packages from Github with "devtools", an error occurred:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_disk(url, x$path, handle = handle): Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

😋 Answer: Please try following codes and then try agian.

library(httr)
set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L))

🆘 Question3: When installing MVP:

Error in lazyLoadDBinsertVariable(vars[i], from, datafile, ascii, compress, : write failed ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘MVP’ removing ‘/home/liuxl/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/MVP’ Warning message: In install.packages("MVP_1.0.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL) : installation of package ‘MVP_1.0.1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

😋 Answer: It is probably an issue caused by disk full, please check disk space.
