workflowr checks: (Click a bullet for more information)
  • R Markdown file: up-to-date

    Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

  • Environment: empty

    Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

  • Seed: set.seed(1)

    The command set.seed(1) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

  • Session information: recorded

    Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

  • Repository version: ddd3bd3

    Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

    Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Here we develop another summary of sharing of eQTLs across tissues by showing the estimated distribution of sharing; specifically, the distribution of the number of tissues shared by sign and by magnitude. This complements this summary and this one.

Compare the plots below to the plots in Figure 5 of the paper.

Set up environment

First, we load some functions defined for the mash analyses.

source("../code/normfuncs.R")

This is the threshold used to determine whether a gene has an eQTL in a given tissue.

thresh <- 0.05

Load data and mash results

Load some GTEx summary statistics, as well as some of the results generated from the mash analysis of the GTEx data.

out     <- readRDS("../data/MatrixEQTLSumStats.Portable.Z.rds")
maxbeta <- out$test.b
maxz    <- out$test.z
out <- readRDS(paste("../output/MatrixEQTLSumStats.Portable.Z.coved.K3.P3",
                     "lite.single.expanded.V1.posterior.rds",sep = "."))
lfsr           <- out$lfsr
pm.mash        <- out$posterior.means
standard.error <- maxbeta/maxz
pm.mash.beta   <- pm.mash * standard.error

Histograms of sharing by magnitude

Sharing by magnitude means that two eQTLs have similar effect size (within a factor of 2).

Here we plot histograms of sharing by magnitude across all tissues (left), tissues other than brain (middle), and brain tissues only (right).

sigmat <- (lfsr <= thresh)
nsig   <- rowSums(sigmat)
par(mar = c(4,4,2,1))
par(oma = c(8,4,0,0) + 0.1)
par(mfrow = c(1,3))
hist((het.func(het.norm(effectsize=pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,]),threshold=0.5)),
     main="",xlab="",breaks=0.5:44.5,col="grey",freq=FALSE,ylim=c(0,0.9),
     xaxt="n")
axis(1,at = seq(1, 44, by=1),labels = c(1:44))
mtext("All Tissues")

sigmat <- (lfsr[,-c(7:16)] <= thresh)
nsig   <- rowSums(sigmat)
hist((het.func(het.norm(effectsize=pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,-c(7:16)]),
     threshold=0.5)),main="",xlab="",breaks=0.5:34.5,col="grey",
     freq=FALSE,ylim=c(0,0.9),xaxt="n")
axis(1,at = seq(1, 34, by=1),labels = c(1:34))
mtext("Non-Brain Tissues")

sigmat     <- (lfsr[,c(7:16)]<=thresh)
nsig       <-  rowSums(sigmat)
brain.norm <- het.norm(effectsize=pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,c(7:16)])
hist(het.func(brain.norm,threshold=0.5),main="",xlab="",breaks=0.5:10.5,
     col="grey",freq=FALSE,xaxt="n",ylim=c(0,0.9))
axis(1, at=seq(1, 10, by=1), labels=c(1:10))
mtext("Brain Tissues")

Histogram of sharing by magnitude

Sharing by sign means that the eQTLs have the same sign of effect.

Here we plot histograms of sharing by sign across all tissues (left), tissues other than brain (middle), and brain tissues only (right).

sign.func <- function (normeffectsize)
  apply(normeffectsize,1,function(x)(sum(x>0)))
sigmat <- (lfsr<=thresh)
nsig   <- rowSums(sigmat)
par(mar = c(4,4.5,2,1))
par(oma = c(8,4,0,0) + 0.1)
par(mfrow = c(1,3))
hist(sign.func(het.norm(effectsize=pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,])),main="",xlab="",
     breaks=0.5:44.5,col="grey",freq=FALSE,xaxt="n",ylim=c(0,0.9))
axis(1, at=seq(1, 44, by=1), labels=c(1:44))
mtext("All Tissues")

sigmat <- (lfsr[,-c(7:16)] <= thresh)
nsig   <- rowSums(sigmat)
hist(sign.func(het.norm(effectsize = pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,-c(7:16)])),
     main="",xlab="",breaks=0.5:34.5,col="grey",freq=FALSE,ylim=c(0,0.9),
     xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=seq(1, 34, by=1), labels=c(1:34))
mtext("Non-Brain Tissues")

sigmat     <- (lfsr[,c(7:16)]<=thresh)
nsig       <-  rowSums(sigmat)
brain.norm <- het.norm(effectsize=pm.mash.beta[nsig>0,c(7:16)])
hist(sign.func(brain.norm),main="",xlab="",breaks=0.5:10.5,col="grey",
     freq=FALSE,xaxt="n",ylim=c(0,0.9))
axis(1, at=seq(1, 10, by=1), labels=c(1:10))
