Arguments

data

Data to be plotted, as a character value specifying a file path of GWAS data, a dataframe, or a GRanges object. Each of these data types must have the following columns:

  • "chrom": Chromosome names. This column must be a character.

  • "pos": Chromosomal position. This column must be an integer or numeric.

  • "p": p-value or similar measure. This column must be numeric. Values will be converted according to the trans parameter.

  • "snp"(optional): SNP name or rsid. This column should be a character.

sigVal

A numeric specifying the significance level of p-values. Along with data p-values, this value will be converted according to the trans parameter. Default value is sigVal = 5e-08.

chrom

Chromosome of region to be plotted, as a string. If left NULL, all chromosomes found in data will be plotted.

chromstart

Integer start position on chromosome to be plotted.

chromend

Integer end position on chromosome to be plotted.

assembly

Default genome assembly as a string or a assembly object. Default value is assembly = "hg38".

fill

A single character value, a vector, or a colorby object specifying fill colors of data points. For a Manhattan plot with multiple chromosomes, a vector of colors will be used to color points of different chromosomes. Default value is fill = "black".

pch

A numeric value or numeric vector specifying point symbols. If colorby object is supplied for fill, point symbols will be mapped to colorby values. Default value is pch = 19.

cex

A numeric indicating the amount by which points should be scaled relative to the default. Default value is cex = 0.25.

leadSNP

A list specifying the lead SNP in the desired region and any associated aesthetic features of the lead SNP data point and text label. The lead SNP should be specified as a character with the name slot "snp" in the list. Accepted lead SNP aesthetic features in the list include fill, pch, cex, fontcolor, and fontsize.

sigLine

Logical value indicating whether to draw a line at the significance level indicated with sigVal. Default value is sigLine = FALSE.

sigCol

Single character value specifying the color of significant data points.

trans

Character value specifying the transformation to apply to the "p" column plotted along the y-axis. For no transformation, set value to the empty character "". Default value is trans = "-log10".

range

A numeric vector of length 2 specifying the y-range of p-values to plot (c(min, max)).

space

A numeric value indicating the space between each chromosome as a fraction of the width of the plot, if plotting multiple chromosomes. Default value is space = 0.01.

bg

Character value indicating background color. Default value is bg = NA.

baseline

Logical value indicating whether to include a baseline along the x-axis. Default value is baseline = FALSE.

baseline.color

Baseline color. Default value is baseline.color = "grey".

baseline.lwd

Baseline line width. Default value is baseline.lwd = 1.

x

A numeric or unit object specifying Manhattan plot x-location.

y

A numeric, unit object, or character containing a "b" combined with a numeric value specifying Manhattan plot y-location. The character value will place the Manhattan plot y relative to the bottom of the most recently plotted plot according to the units of the plotgardener page.

width

A numeric or unit object specifying Manhattan plot width.

height

A numeric or unit object specifying Manhattan plot height.

just

Justification of Manhattan plot relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: "left", "right", "centre", "center", "bottom", and "top". Default value is just = c("left", "top").

flip

Logical value indicating whether to reflect Manhattan plot over the x-axis. Default value is flip = FALSE.

default.units

A string indicating the default units to use if x, y, width, or height are only given as numerics. Default value is default.units = "inches".

draw

A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced. Default value is draw = TRUE.

params

An optional pgParams object containing relevant function parameters.

...

Additional grid graphical parameters. See gpar.

Value

Returns a manhattan object containing relevant genomic region, placement, and grob information.

Details

A Manhattan plot can be placed on a plotgardener coordinate page by providing plot placement parameters:


plotManhattan(data,
                chrom = NULL,
                chromstart = NULL, chromend = NULL,
                x, y, width, height, just = c("left", "top"),
                default.units = "inches")

This function can also be used to quickly plot an unannotated Manhattan plot by ignoring plot placement parameters:


plotManhattan(data,
                chrom = NULL,
                chromstart = NULL, chromend = NULL)
