snps

tools for reading, writing, merging, and remapping SNPs 🧬

Features

Input / Output

  • Read raw data (genotype) files from a variety of direct-to-consumer (DTC) DNA testing sources with a SNPs object

  • Read and write VCF files (e.g., convert 23andMe to VCF)

  • Merge raw data files from different DNA tests, identifying discrepant SNPs in the process with a SNPsCollection object

  • Read data in a variety of formats (e.g., files, bytes, compressed with gzip or zip)

  • Handle several variations of file types, validated via openSNP parsing analysis

Build / Assembly Detection and Remapping

  • Detect the build / assembly of SNPs (supports builds 36, 37, and 38)

  • Remap SNPs between builds / assemblies

Data Cleaning

  • Fix several common issues when loading SNPs

  • Sort SNPs based on chromosome and position

  • Deduplicate RSIDs

  • Deduplicate alleles in the non-PAR regions of the X and Y chromosomes for males

  • Assign PAR SNPs to the X or Y chromosome

Supported Genotype Files

snps supports VCF files and genotype files from the following DNA testing sources:

Additionally, snps can read a variety of “generic” CSV and TSV files.

Dependencies

snps requires Python 3.5+ and the following Python packages:

Installation

snps is available on the Python Package Index. Install snps (and its required Python dependencies) via pip:

$ pip install snps

Examples

Download Example Data

First, let’s setup logging to get some helpful output:

>>> import logging, sys
>>> logger = logging.getLogger()
>>> logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
>>> logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout))

Now we’re ready to download some example data from openSNP:

>>> from snps.resources import Resources
>>> r = Resources()
>>> paths = r.download_example_datasets()
Downloading resources/662.23andme.340.txt.gz
Downloading resources/662.ftdna-illumina.341.csv.gz

Load Raw Data

Load a 23andMe raw data file:

>>> from snps import SNPs
>>> s = SNPs('resources/662.23andme.340.txt.gz')

The SNPs class accepts a path to a file or a bytes object. A Reader class attempts to infer the data source and load the SNPs. The loaded SNPs are available via a pandas.DataFrame:

>>> df = s.snps
>>> df.columns.values
array(['chrom', 'pos', 'genotype'], dtype=object)
>>> df.index.name
'rsid'
>>> len(df)
991786

snps also attempts to detect the build / assembly of the data:

>>> s.build
37
>>> s.build_detected
True
>>> s.assembly
'GRCh37'

Remap SNPs

Let’s remap the SNPs to change the assembly / build:

>>> s.snps.loc["rs3094315"].pos
752566
>>> chromosomes_remapped, chromosomes_not_remapped = s.remap_snps(38)
Downloading resources/GRCh37_GRCh38.tar.gz
>>> s.build
38
>>> s.assembly
'GRCh38'
>>> s.snps.loc["rs3094315"].pos
817186

SNPs can be remapped between Build 36 (NCBI36), Build 37 (GRCh37), and Build 38 (GRCh38).

Merge Raw Data Files

The dataset consists of raw data files from two different DNA testing sources. Let’s combine these files using a SNPsCollection.

>>> from snps import SNPsCollection
>>> sc = SNPsCollection("resources/662.ftdna-illumina.341.csv.gz", name="User662")
Loading resources/662.ftdna-illumina.341.csv.gz
>>> sc.build
36
>>> chromosomes_remapped, chromosomes_not_remapped = sc.remap_snps(37)
Downloading resources/NCBI36_GRCh37.tar.gz
>>> sc.snp_count
708092

As the data gets added, it’s compared to the existing data, and SNP position and genotype discrepancies are identified. (The discrepancy thresholds can be tuned via parameters.)

>>> sc.load_snps(["resources/662.23andme.340.txt.gz"], discrepant_genotypes_threshold=300)
Loading resources/662.23andme.340.txt.gz
27 SNP positions were discrepant; keeping original positions
151 SNP genotypes were discrepant; marking those as null
>>> len(sc.discrepant_snps)  # SNPs with discrepant positions and genotypes, dropping dups
169
>>> sc.snp_count
1006960

Save SNPs

Ok, so far we’ve remapped the SNPs to the same build and merged the SNPs from two files, identifying discrepancies along the way. Let’s save the merged dataset consisting of over 1M+ SNPs to a CSV file:

>>> saved_snps = sc.save_snps()
Saving output/User662_GRCh37.csv

Moreover, let’s get the reference sequences for this assembly and save the SNPs as a VCF file:

>>> saved_snps = sc.save_snps(vcf=True)
