Error No intersection between model names in MetaXcan Results and Prediction Models

2021-07-23 Festus
𝕋his error happen when the strings captured from the metaxcan results and models don’t coincide A good example is when the metaxcan results' captured names looked like Aorta while the models' captured names looked like Artery_Aorta, this will result into this error […] … Read more →

GTEx v8 models on eQTL and sQTL

2021-07-21 PredictDB Team
𝕎e have produced different families of prediction models for sQTL and eQTL, using several prediction strategies, on GTEx v8 release data. We recommend MASHR-based models below. Elastic Net-based are a safe, robust alternative with decreased power. […] Expression and splicing prediction models … Read more →

How was the covariance data calculated?

2021-07-21 PredictDB Team
𝔽or the GTEx models, we calculated the covariance of the SNP dosages within our training (GTEx) samples. For the DGN model, we used public genotype data from 1000 Genomes to calculate the covariance of the SNP dosages. Read more →
