NAME¶

iHS

SYNOPSIS¶

iHS –target 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 –file my.phased.vcf  –region chr1:1-1000 > STDOUT 2> STDERR

DESCRIPTION¶

iHS calculates the integrated haplotype score which measures the relative decay of extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) for the reference and alternative alleles at a site (see: voight et al. 2006, Spiech & Hernandez 2014).

OPTIONS¶

Our code is highly concordant with both implementations mentioned. However, we do not set an upper limit to the allele frequency.  **iHS** can be run without a genetic map, in which case the change in EHH is integrated over a constant.  Human genetic maps for GRCh36 and GRCh37 (hg18 & hg19) can be found at: http://bochet.gcc.biostat.washington.edu/beagle/genetic_maps/ . **iHS** by default interpolates SNV positions to genetic position (you don't need a genetic position for every VCF entry in the map file).
**iHS** analyses requires normalization by allele frequency.  It is important that **iHS** is calculated over large regions so that the normalization does not down weight real signals.  For genome-wide runs it is recommended to run slightly overlapping windows and throwing out values that fail integration (columns 7 & 8 in the output) and then removing duplicates by using the 'sort' and 'uniq' linux commands.  Normalization of the output is as simple as running 'normalize-**iHS**'.


     **iHS** calculates the integrated ratio of haplotype decay between the reference and non-reference allele.
Output : 4 columns :


     1. seqid


     2. position


     3. target allele frequency


     4. integrated EHH (alternative)


     5. integrated EHH (reference)


     6. **iHS** ln(iEHHalt/iEHHref)


     7. != 0 integration failure


     8. != 0 integration failure
