Used Case

Find regions with strong genotype-phenotype association
Prerequisites
  1. Generate local ancestries using the utility POPSICLEIntermediate of POPSICLE
What does it do?
It finds regions with strong association between block genotypes and phenotypes
How to run it?
java -jar LPDtools.jar FindGenotypePhenotypeBootstrap -i localAncestryFile -j virulenceInformation -o outputFile -n bootstrapIterations

Here, -i is the local ancestry inforamation found using the utility POPSICLEIntermediate of POPSICLE. -j is a file containing two columns, the first column contains the sample names and the second column contains phenotypes associated with the samples. Only categorical variables are accepted for phenotypes. -n is the number of bootstrapped datasets to be generated (-n 50 is sufficient for most purposes).
Output
gwas
First column is chromosome name, columns 2 and 3 are start and end of the block respectively. column 4 is the score associated with original dataset. column 5 is the maximum scored recorded out of all bootstrapped datasets, column 5 is the p-value associated with a block and the last column is the number of markers in that block.
