The genipe module (standing for GENome-wide Imputation
PipelinE) includes a script (named genipe-launcher) that
automatically runs a genome-wide imputation pipeline using Plink, shapeit
and impute2.
If you use genipe in any published work, please cite the paper describing the
tool:
Lemieux Perreault LP, Legault MA, Asselin G, Dubé MP: genipe: an automated genome-wide imputation pipeline with automatic reporting and statistical tools. Bioinformatics 2016, 32 (23): 3661-3663 (DOI:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw487).
Full documentation is available at http://pgxcentre.github.io/genipe/.
Version 1.5.0 of genipe should work with the most recent versions of the
packages.
We recommend installing the package in a Python 3.7 (or latest) virtual
environment. There are two ways to install: pip or conda.
# Using pip
pip install genipe# Using conda
conda install genipe -c http://statgen.org/wp-content/uploads/Softwares/genipeThe installation process should install all required dependencies to run the main imputation pipeline. Optional dependencies can also be installed manually in order to perform statistical analysis and data management (see below).
The complete installation procedure is available in the documentation.
The tool requires a standard Python 3.4 (or latest) installation with the following modules:
numpyversion 1.11.3 and latestJinja2version 2.9 and latestpandasversion 0.19.2 and latestsetuptoolsversion 12.0.5 and latest
The tool requires the binaries for Plink, shapeit and impute2.
In order to perform data management and statistical analysis (linear, logistic
and Cox's regressions), genipe requires the following Python modules:
MatplotlibscipypatsystatsmodelslifelinesBiopythonpyfaidxdrmaapyplink
Note that statsmodels (specifically MixedLM analysis) version 0.6 is not
compatible with numpy version 1.12 and latest.
Finally, the tool requires a LaTeX installation to compile the automatically generated report in PDF format.
Basic testing was implemented for the script to merge impute2 files resulting from different segments of the same chromosome along with some utility functions of the main package. To test the package (once installed), launch Python and execute the following command:
>>> import genipe
>>> genipe.test()Some functionalities are difficult to test, since they mostly use external tools to perform analysis (i.e. Plink, shapeit and impute2) and it is assumed that they were properly tested by their author.
We will try to add further tests in the future.
The following options are available when launching a genome-wide imputation analysis.

to load required module and set environment variables.
The content of the file will be added between the
'shebang' line and the tool command.

The report background section (can either be a string
or a file containing the background. [General
background]The documentation provides a quick and easy tutorial for the complete pipeline. Refer to this page
The pipeline provides a report containing relevant imputation statistics. This
report is located in the report directory. It can be compiled into a PDF file
using the following make command:
$ make && make clean
...This report uses LaTeX and the *.tex file can be modified to add project
specific information.
Once the genome-wide imputation analysis is performed and the quality metrics
provided by the automatic report have been reviewed, it is possible to
perform different statistical analyses (e.g. linear or logistic regression,
or survival analysis using Cox's proportional hazard model) using the provided
script named imputed-stats.
$ imputed-stats --help
usage: imputed-stats [-h] [-v] {cox,linear,logistic,mixedlm,skat} ...
Performs statistical analysis on imputed data (either SKAT analysis, or
linear, logistic or survival regression). This script is part of the 'genipe'
package, version 1.4.2.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Statistical Analysis Type:
The type of statistical analysis to be performed on the imputed data.
{cox,linear,logistic,mixedlm,skat}
cox Cox's proportional hazard model (survival regression).
linear Linear regression (ordinary least squares).
logistic Logistic regression (GLM with binomial distribution).
mixedlm Linear mixed effect model (random intercept).
skat SKAT analysis.See the tutorials for more information: http://pgxcentre.github.io/genipe/tutorials.html
This project was initiated at the Beaulieu-Saucier Pharmacogenomics Centre of the Montreal Heart Institute. The aim was to speed up (and automatize) the imputation process for the whole genome.
