a circos representation of multiple GWAS results.
Fuji plot (a circos representation of multiple GWAS results) was developed to efficiently summarize significant SNPs across dozens of traits (Kanai, M. et al., Nat. Genet. 2018). Technically, it is a wrapper script for Circos, generating input data and configuration files from GWAS results.
Fuji plot is named after :mount_fuji: Mt. Fuji in Japan :mount_fuji:, whose ridge and skirts greatly resemble our figure!

Input files used in Kanai, M. et al. (2018) are provided under ./input_example

input.txt
)This file provides a concatenated list of all significant trait-associated loci (for each trait). It also defines a unique locus across multiple traits to highlight pleiotropic loci. The required fields are as follows:
LOCUS_ID
: Unique ID for each locusCATEGORY
: Trait categoryTRAIT
: Trait nameCHR
: ChromosomeBP
: Position (hg19)MARKER
: Marker IDGENE
: Gene symboltraitlist.txt
)This file provides a list of traits and their categories. It defines an order of traits and a color of each category in a figure. The required fields are as follows:
CATEGORY
: Trait categoryTRAIT
: Trait nameCOLOR
: Category colorAll output files will be created under ./output
.
circos.{png,svg}
)This is the raw output from Circos. Unfortunately, we could not figure out the appropriate way to make our highlights (radial lines) over scatter plots. To this end, we edited the svg file using Adobe Illustrator and produced the final figure.
barplot.pdf
)This corresponds to Fig. 1a of Kanai, M. et al. (2018). Again, you need to do some Illustrator edits to make it pretty. You can suppress this output by setting OUTPUT_BARPLOT = FALSE
in fujiplot.R
.
