The information on this page relates to versions before 0.542. See Filters2 for the latest approach.

Main

In most analysis you are only interested in a subset of sites and not all sites. Currently we have the following filter options.


NB the afile.keep is still beta and some users have reported that this made the program crash on random occasions.

Selected Regions

see input

Selected Sites

We support 2 different kinds of inputfiles for filtering. Bim files, if you want to use a specific major minor, or plain textfiles containing chromosome tab position.

-filter [bimfile.bim] or -filter [afile.keep]



File is determed by suffix of file.


Only use sites contained in the bim (plink format) file. With -doMajorMinor 3 the major/minor alleles from the bim file is used.

Example of a bim file

1	rs11240767	0	728951	T	C
1	rs3131972	0	752721	A	G
1	rs3131969	0	754182	A	G
1	rs3131967	0	754334	T	C
1	rs1048488	0	760912	C	T
1	rs12124819	0	776546	G	A
1	rs4040617	0	779322	G	A
1	rs4970383	0	838555	A	C

Columns are, chromosome name, rsnumber, position in centimorgan, position in bp and major/major. Only column 1,4,5,6 are used. The major and minor state can also be encoded as 0,1,2,3,4. With 0=A,1=C,2=G,3=T,4=N

Example of a keep file

chr1  100001
chr1  2500000
chr1  347348

The .keep are implemented in 0.503 or above.

For the .bim file no ordering is assumed. We require that the .keep file is sorted according to chromosome.

Warning

To clarify the above, we require that the .keep file is sorted/grouped together by chromosome. We do not care of the ordering of positions within each chromosome. The program requires that the ordering of the chromosomes from the filereading has the same order as in the .keep file. You could of cause reheader your bamfiles, and sort it. But a much simpler solution is to force the filereading to use the same ordering as your keep file and supply that using the -rf. An example for this is

cut -f1 filter.keep |uniq >awk '{print $0":"}' >regions.txt
./angsd [do analysis] -rf regions.txt

Allele frequencies

-minMaf [float]
only work with sites with a maf above 'float'

polymorphic sites

-minLRT [float]
only work with sits with an LRT>float

Number of non missing individuals

-minInd [int]
only work with sites with information from atleast int individiduals



First we do a run with no filters

./angsd  -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1:
...
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999919	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999920	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999921	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999922	C	A	0.000008	1
1	13999923	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999924	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999925	G	A	0.000008	1
1	13999926	A	C	0.000008	1
1	13999927	G	A	0.000008	1

Now we do a filter with MAF cutoff of 1\%

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minMaf 0.01
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999950	T	G	0.495291	2
1	14000019	G	T	0.047247	9
1	14000056	C	T	0.055851	10
1	14000127	G	T	0.060760	10
1	14000170	C	T	0.052388	9
1	14000176	G	A	0.047928	10
1	14000202	G	A	0.279722	9
1	14000262	C	T	0.058555	9
1	14000322	A	G	0.040471	8

Similar if we only want sites with information for atleast 5 samples

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minKeepInd 5
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	nInd
1	13999971	T	A	0.000007	6
1	13999972	G	A	0.000007	6
1	13999973	C	A	0.000005	5
1	13999974	G	A	0.000006	6
1	13999975	C	A	0.000002	5
1	13999976	C	A	0.000004	7
1	13999977	A	C	0.000005	8
1	13999978	C	A	0.000005	8
1	13999979	T	A	0.000005	8

If we are interested in all sites with a p-value of 10^(-6) of being variable

../angsd0.3/angsd -doMaf 2 -doMajorMinor 1 -out TSK -bam bam.filelist -GL 1 -r 1: -minLRT 24 -doSNP 1 
head TSK.mafs 
chromo	position	major	minor	knownEM	pK-EM	nInd
1	14000202	G	A	0.279722	42.623150	9
1	14000873	G	A	0.212120	79.118476	10
1	14001018	T	C	0.333736	89.040311	8
1	14001867	A	G	0.200232	47.195423	10
1	14002422	A	T	0.167692	43.196259	9
1	14003581	C	T	0.207404	58.593208	9
1	14004623	T	C	0.219838	102.856433	10
