SurvivalGWAS_SV is an easy to use software that is able to handle large scale genome-wide data, allowing for imputed genotypes by modelling time to event outcomes under a dosage model. The software can adjust for multiple covariates and incorporate SNP-covariate interaction effects.

      --gf, --gen_file=VALUE The name of the genotype file
      --sf, --sample_file=VALUE
                             The name of the sample file.
  -t, --time=VALUE           The observation time

      --cov, --covariates=VALUE
                             A list of covariates. Each one seperated by a
                               comma (,)
  -i, --int=VALUE            The interaction between SNP and one covariate.

      --lstart, --linestart=VALUE
                             Specify line in file start position for more

      --sp, --start_position=VALUE
                             The start position on the chromosome. You still
                               need to specify the number of lines in file
                               using -lstart & -lstop commands
      --ep, --end_position=VALUE

      --chr, --chromosome=VALUE
                             User specified chromosome number
  -p, --print=VALUE          Enter 'onlysnp' if you want only the SNP
                               analysis output to be in the output file and

                               with each core executing a different thread
  -h, --help                 Command Help

Copy sample data to the current folder:

[user@cn2389 ~]$ cp $SGWASSW_DATA/* .

Run the application on the sample data:

[user@cn2389 ~]$ sgwas_sw --gen_file=./exchr10.out.controls.gen --sample_file=./samplefile.txt --threads=2 --method=cox --lstart=1 --lstop=25 --output=output.txt -t=event_times -c=censoring -cov=covariate1,covariate2
