pcaSnpFilters: Regions of SNP-PC correlation to filter for Principal Component Analysis

Description

Base positions for the LCT (2q21), HLA (including MHC), and inversion (8p23, 17q21.31) regions from the GRCh36/hg18, GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 genome genome builds.

Usage

pcaSnpFilters.hg18
pcaSnpFilters.hg19
pcaSnpFilters.hg38

Format

A data.frame with the following columns.

chrom

chromsome

start.base

starting base position of region

end.base

ending base position of region

comment

description of the region

Source

UCSC genome browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu).

Details

These regions result in high SNP-PC correlation if they are included in Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The pcaSnpFilters datasets can be used to filter SNPs prior to running PCA to avoid correlations.
