Worked Example: PCA on SNPs data from a vcf file Part 1 - Data Preparation
2022-11-19
Introduction
In this worked example you will replicate a PCA on a published dataset.
The example is split into 2 Parts:
- Part 1: Data Preparation (this file)
- Part 2: Data analysis with PCA
In this Data Preparation phase, you will do the following things:
- Load the SNP genotypes in .vcf format
(
vcfR::read.vcfR()) - Extract the genotypes into an R-compatible format
(
vcfR::extract.gt()) - Rotate the data into the standard R analysis format
(
t()) - Remove individuals (rows) from the data set that have >50% NAs (using a function I wrote)
- Remove SNPs (columns) that are fixed
- Impute remaining NAs (using a
for()loop) - Save the prepared data as a
.csvfile for the next step (write.csv())
Biological background
This worked example is based on a paper in the journal Molecular Ecology from 2017 by Jennifer Walsh titled Subspecies delineation amid phenotypic, geographic and genetic discordance in a songbird.
The study investigated variation between two bird species in the genus Ammodramus: A. nenlsoni and A. caudacutus.
The species A. nenlsoni has been divided into 3 sub-species: A. n. nenlsoni, A.n. alterus, and A n. subvirgatus. The other species, A. caudacutus, has been divided into two subspecies, A.c. caudacutus and A.c. diversus.
The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent these five subspecies recognized by taxonomists are supported by genetic data. The author’s collected DNA from 75 birds (15 per subspecies) and genotyped 1929 SNPs. They then analyzed the data with Principal Components Analysis (PCA), among other genetic analyzes.
This tutorial will work through all of the steps necessary to re-analyze Walsh et al.s data
Tasks
In the code below all code is provided. Your tasks will be to do 2 things:
- Give a meaningful title to all sections marked ” TITLE”
- Write 1 to 2 sentences describing what is being done and why in all sections marked ” EXPLAIN”
