SuShiE🍣

SuShiE (Sum of Shared Single Effect) is a Python software to fine-map causal SNPs, compute prediction weights, and infer effect size correlation for molecular data (e.g., mRNA levels and protein levels etc.) across multiple ancestries.

- We detest usage of our software or scientific outcome to promote racial discrimination.

SuShiE is described in

Improved multi-ancestry fine-mapping identifies cis-regulatory variants underlying molecular traits and disease risk.

Installation

Users can download the latest repository and then use pip:

git clone https://github.com/mancusolab/sushie.git
cd sushie
pip install .

We currently only support Python3.8+.

Before installation, we recommend to create a new environment using conda so that it will not affect the software versions of the other projects.

Get Started with Example

SuShiE software is very easy to use:

cd ./data/
sushie finemap --pheno EUR.pheno AFR.pheno --vcf vcf/EUR.vcf vcf/AFR.vcf --covar EUR.covar AFR.covar --output ./test_result

It can perform:

  • SuShiE: multi-ancestry fine-mapping accounting for ancestral correlation
  • Single-ancestry SuSiE (Sum of Single Effect)
  • Independent SuShiE: multi-ancestry SuShiE without accounting for correlation
  • Meta-SuSiE: single-ancestry SuSiE followed by meta-analysis
  • Mega-SuSiE: single-ancestry SuSiE on row-wise stacked data across ancestries
  • QTL effect size correlation estimation
  • cis-SNP heritability estimation
  • Cross-validation for SuShiE prediction weights
  • Convert prediction results to FUSION format, thus can be used in TWAS

See here for more details on how to use SuShiE.

If you want to use in-software SuShiE inference function, you can use following code as an example:

from sushie.infer import infer_sushie
# Xs is for genotype data, and it should be a list of numpy array whose length is the number of ancestry.
# ys is for phenotype data, and it should also be a list of numpy array whose length is the number of ancestry.
infer_sushie(Xs=X, ys=y)

You can play it with your own ideas!

Notes

  • SuShiE currently only supports continuous phenotype fine-mapping.
  • SuShiE currently only supports fine-mapping on autosomes.
  • SuShiE uses JAX with Just In Time compilation to achieve high-speed computation. However, there are some issues for JAX with Mac M1 chip. To solve this, users need to initiate conda using miniforge, and then install SuShiE using pip in the desired environment.

Version History

Version Description
0.1 Initial Release
0.11 Fix the bug for OLS to compute adjusted r squared.
0.12 Update io.corr function so that report all the correlation results no matter cs is pruned or not.
0.13 Add --keep command to enable user to specify a file that contains the subjects ID SuShiE will perform on. Add --ancestry_index command to enable user to specify a file that contains the ancestry index for fine-mapping. With this, user can input single phenotype, genotype, and covariate file that contains all the subjects across ancestries. Implement padding to increase inference time. Record elbo at each iteration and can access it in the infer.SuShiEResult object. The alphas table now outputs the average purity and KL divergence for each L. Change --kl_threshold to --divergence. Add --maf command to remove SNPs that less than minor allele frequency threshold within each ancestry. Add --max_select command to randomly select maximum number of SNPs to compute purity to avoid unnecessary memory spending. Add a QC function to remove duplicated SNPs.
0.14 Remove KL-Divergence pruning. Enhance command line appearance and improve the output files contents. Fix small bugs on multivariate KL.
0.15 Fix several typos; add a sanity check on reading vcf genotype data by assigning gt_types==Unknown as NA; Add preprint information.
