Pandas automatically rounds GWAS P-value

The solution you likely want is here, pd.set_eng_float_format(accuracy=x, use_eng_prefix=True) x = whatever is required The function set_eng_float_format has been moved around a bit and is now a to …

Power calculation for GWAS/EWAS

Interesting question I would recommend the effective population size $N_{e}$, and error bars around this. Ne can be calculated via $F_{st}$ and is perhaps the most important parameter to determine th …

Excess average estimated identical-by-descent in genotype data

A clear negative association within an inbreeding coefficient suggests convergent evolution driven by shared selective pressure. There is an outside chance of purifying selection, or else balancing se …

Random GWAS data generator

Agreed with the above I would use an existing dataset from NCBIs dbSNP here Random doesn't work well because HW signal will be meaningless as soon as the Jukes-Cantor distance is exceeded (which it wi …

Why is the p-value significance threshold for HLA association tests $5*10^{-8}$?

Its a very good question and it is also a good study. What you are saying must be correct. I thought it was possible they used the correct critical probability in the original submission and a reviewe …

How to z-transform Fst and -log(p) values for genome wide selection scan?

@JRodrigoF is the correct answer. I'll attempt to explain why the z-score is being used, because it is not immediately obvious. $F_{ST}$ is not trivial for anyone to understand per se. It is extremely …

Interpreting GWAS results with different settings

The genomes under analysis are under predominant linkage disequilibrium, i.e. linkage. Chromosome 1 shows strong (or stronger - cut-off depending) HW signal as do one or two telomeres - telomeres are …

Apply trained PRS on another dataset

The coefficient is the third column from the right, you can tell because some are positive and other negative. When the value is negative the association is a negative correlation. When it is positive …

Loss of predictive power of polygenic risk score when dataset contains missing variants

Which software package around you using, PRSice? Generally missing values comprising half the total observations are extremely difficult to calculate using regression analysis (or many statistical ana …

Is there a way to do GWAS on phenotype data that is not normally distributed?

Sure, you would use the negative binomial distribution when the majority of data was around 0. In other words the data is clustered with the standard deviation far greater than the mean. Most general …

Why does my HWE QQ plot have extreme deviation and what does it mean?

factors) resulted in a stronger fit by for example 3 logs difference, whilst the genetic model is 50 logs difference, then that is the answer and points to the need for careful population sampling for GWAS
