GWAS

A GWAS file is a space- or tab-delimited result file from genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis. These files include PLINK result files containing integrated map information (i.e., chromosomal location for each association).

File extensions for GWAS files are: .linear, .logistic, .assoc, .qassoc, .gwas

GWAS file must contain a header line and  four required  columns (case-insensitive):

• CHR: chromosome (aliases chr, chromosome)
• BP: nucleotide location (aliases bp, pos, position)
• SNP: SNP identifier (aliases snp, rs, rsid, rsnum, id, marker, markername)
• P: p-value for the association (aliases p, pval, p-value, pvalue, p.value)

Columns can be in any order.  Other columns besides the required ones are allowed and will be included in popup text.  The p-value will be transformed to -log10 scale for plotting.
