Does anyone use the R library GenABEL? I am using it to calculate SNP interactions. I have a list of 100 SNPs, I need to look at the interaction between each of two SNPs among the list. my question is how to perform this in GenABEL. I want to use the "lm" function, but don't know how to use the SNP information. for example: result <- (lm(y~SNP1+SNP2+SNP1*SNP2)) the problem here is the "SNP1,SNP2" are not working in this place, because it's not a right format to use the SNP information stored in the GenABEL library. Someone said I could first import the GenABEL format genetic data to the format used by "genetics" library by using as.genotype. I tried, but seems it does take a long time, and the transformation has been running for about 18hs, but it is still running, I don't even know if the transformation is doable. anyone has any idea about how to deal with this problem. thank you very much! karena -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-use-GenABEL-genetic-information-tp2234760p2234760.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
