I have a bunch of CNVs which I have estimated LD between each allele of CNV with all SNPs across the entire human genome. I used my R-script to do a pairwise LD analysis.
The following is the first few lines of my output for the first alternative allele of CNV and some SNPs on chromosome 2 (just as an example)
CNV_chrom CNV_allele SNP_chrom SNP_position R2
"1" " CNV2" "2" " 1000" "-0.0463767871013283"
"1" " CNV2" "2" " 1029" "-0.201478578143067"
"1" " CNV2" "2" " 1044" "-0.595441932439136"
"1" " CNV2" "2" " 1045" "-0.60363963711489"
"1" " CNV2" "2" " 1130" "0.377970958849221"
I want to plot the LD results (LD between each allele of CNV and all SNPs) ,is there any way that I could do it in R?
I have not done LD plotting before so just slightly confused.
I saw for instance LDheatmap package in R, but do not know how can I summarize the results for thousands of SNPs. Thanks for any suggestion
Summary of LDHeatmap
Produces a graphical display, as a heat map, of measures of pairwise linkage disequilibria between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Users may optionally include the physical locations or genetic map distances of each SNP on the plot.
