snpStats (version 1.22.0)

switch.alleles: Switch alleles in columns of a SnpMatrix or in test results

Description

This is a generic function which can be applied to objects of class "SnpMatrix" or "XSnpMatrix" (which hold SNP genotype data), or to objects of class "SingleSnpTestsScore" or "GlmTests" (which hold association test results). In the former case, specified SNPs can be recoded as if the alleles were switched (so that AA genotypes become BB and vice-versa while AB remain unchanged). In the latter case, test results are modified as if alleles had been switched.

Usage

switch.alleles(x, snps)

Arguments

x

The input object, of class "SnpMatrix", "XSnpMatrix", "SingleSnpTestsScore", or "GlmTests"

snps

A vector of type integer, character or logical specifying the SNP to have its alleles switched

Value

An object of the same class as the input object

Examples

data(testdata)
which <-  c("173774", "173811")
Asw <- switch.alleles(Autosomes, which)
col.summary(Autosomes[,which])
col.summary(Asw[,which])
