SHAPEIT is a fast and accurate method for estimation of haplotypes (aka phasing) from genotype or sequencing data.

SHAPEIT has several notable features:

• Linear complexity with the number of SNPs and conditioning haplotypes.
• Whole chromosome GWAS scale datasets can be phased in a single run.
• Phasing individuals with any level of relatedness
• Phasing is multi-threaded to tailor computational times to your resources
• Handles X chromosomes phasing
• Phasing using a reference panel (eg.1,000 Genomes) to aid phasing
• Ideal for pre-phasing imputation together with IMPUTE2

• SHAPEIT has primarily been developed by Dr Olivier Delaneau through a collaborative project between the research groups of Prof Jean-Francois Zagury at CNAM and Prof Jonathan Marchini at Oxford. Funding for this project has been received from several sources : CNAM,  Peptinov, MRC,  Leverhulme, The Wellcome Trust.

Allocate an interactive session and run the program. Sample session:

[user@biowulf]$ sinteractive --cpus-per-task=4
salloc.exe: Pending job allocation 46116226
salloc.exe: job 46116226 queued and waiting for resources
salloc.exe: job 46116226 has been allocated resources
salloc.exe: Granted job allocation 46116226
salloc.exe: Waiting for resource configuration
salloc.exe: Nodes cn3144 are ready for job

[user@cn3144 ~]$ module load shapeit
[user@cn3144 ~]$ phase_common --input wgs/target.unrelated.bcf --filter-maf 0.001 --region 1 --map info/chr1.gmap.gz --output tmp/target.scaffold.bcf --thread $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK

[user@cn3144 ~]$ exit
salloc.exe: Relinquishing job allocation 46116226
[user@biowulf ~]$

Create a batch input file (e.g. batch.sh). For example:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
module load shapeit
phase_common --input wgs/target.unrelated.bcf --filter-maf 0.001 --region 1 --map info/chr1.gmap.gz --output tmp/target.scaffold.bcf --thread $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK

Submit this job using the Slurm sbatch command.

sbatch --cpus-per-task=4 [--mem=#] batch.sh

Create a swarmfile (e.g. job.swarm). For example:

cd dir1; phase_common ... --thread $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK
cd dir2; phase_common ... --thread $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK
cd dir3; phase_common ... --thread $SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK

Submit this job using the swarm command.

swarm -f job.swarm [-g #] -t 4 --module shapeit

where

-g #	Number of Gigabytes of memory required for each process (1 line in the swarm command file)
-t #	Number of threads/CPUs required for each process (1 line in the swarm command file).
--module	Loads the module for each subjob in the swarm
