This Vignette provides an example analysis of genetic data using the smartsnp package.

Description of the data

Multivariate analysis of mallard genotypes using the dataset published by Kraus et al. 2013.

Paper = https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.12098

Dataset = https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.1bq39

Population SEAP removed from dataset as its geographic background is unclear (Robert Kraus, pers. comm., 02/06/2021).

Populations GBAB, GBFE and GBNM (British Isles) removed from dataset as these individuals might have mixed with captive/feral mallards (Robert Kraus, pers. comm., 03/06/2021).

Three datasets are available. They are part of the smartsnp package, you don’t need to download or process the data from dryad:

  • Genotype data (mallard_genotype_Kraus2012.txt) = 364 SNPs (rows) x 695 individuals (columns), individuals comprise 55 populations and 10 flyways. Genotypes are 0, 1, 2 or (for missing values) 9
  • Group names (mallard_samples_Kraus2013.txt) = 695 rows x 3 columns, column 1 = flyway names, column 2 = population name, column 3 = indvidual names comprise 55 populations and 10 flyways
  • SNP names (mallard_snps_Kraus2013.txt) = 695 rows x 1 column

The study supports panmixia in cosmopolitan bird species (see Kraus et al. 2013):

“…Only Greenland is genetically differentiated from the remaining mallard population, and to a lesser extent, slight differentiation is observed between flyways in Europe and North America”.

“…There is a lack of clear population structure, suggesting that the world’s mallards, perhaps with minor exceptions, form a single large, mainly interbreeding population”.

Run smart_pca

Run PCA with truncated SVD (PCA 1 x PCA 2 axes) and assign results to object pcaR (missing values imputed with means, SNPs scaled to control genetic drift):

pathToFile <- system.file("extdata", "mallard_genotype_Kraus2012", package = "smartsnp")
pcaR <- smart_pca(snp_data = pathToFile, sample_group = my_groups, missing_impute = "mean")

pcaR is a list with 3 elements:

Assign statistical results to objects pcaR_eigen, pcaR_load and pcaR_coord:

pcaR_eigen <- pcaR$pca.eigenvalues # extract eigenvalues (PCA1 and PC2 axes explain 3.5% variation in SNP variation across individuals)
pcaR_load <- pcaR$pca.snp_loadings # extract principal coefficients (high SNP loadings indicate loci with stronger variation across individuals)
pcaR_coord <- pcaR$pca.sample_coordinates # extract principal components (position of individuals in PCA space used to generate the ordination)

Plot PCA:

cols <- rainbow(length(table(my_groups)))
plot(pcaR$pca.sample_coordinates[,c("PC1","PC2")], cex = 1.5, 
     bg = cols[as.factor(my_groups)], pch = 21, col = "black", main = "mallard genotype smartpca")
legend("topleft", legend = levels(as.factor(my_groups)), cex = 1, pch = 21, 
       pt.cex = 1.0, col = "black", pt.bg = cols, text.col = cols)

plot of chunk pca_plot_mallard

Greenland individuals cluster in one of the corners of the ordination, supporting a distinct SNP composition relative to the remaining flyways.

Run smart_permanova

Run PERMANOVA test (group location in PCA1 x PCA2 space) and assign results to object permanovaR (missing values imputed with means, SNPs scaled to control genetic drift). Notice that pairwise tests increase computing time considerably as there are 45 pairwise comparisons to make for 10 flyways, each calculating a p value based on 10,000 permutations of the data.

pathToFile <- system.file("extdata", "mallard_genotype_Kraus2012", package = "smartsnp")
permanovaR <- smart_permanova(snp_data = pathToFile, sample_group = my_groups, 
                              target_space = "pca", missing_impute = "mean", pairwise = "TRUE")

Assign sample summary to object permP:

permP <- permanovaR$permanova.samples

Show PERMANOVA tables (global and pairwise):

For the mallard dataset, the p value is 1e-04. As with other frequentist tests, p values should be interpreted as the probability of the observed differences if the null hypothesis of no differences between groups is true. The lower the p value, the weaker the support for the null hypothesis.

The lowest p values (resulting from pairwise comparisons) consistently occur between the Greenland and the remaining flyways, supporting a unique SNP composition mostly in Greenland mallards.

Run smart_permdisp

Run PERMDISP test (group dispersion in PCA1 x PCA2 space) and assign results to object permdispR (missing values imputed with means, SNPs scaled to control genetic drift). Heteroscededasticity tests in combination with ANOVA tests tell whether the ANOVA F statistic is driven by mean and/or varinance differences among groups in a univariate context. Location and dispersion (multivariate context) are analogous with mean and variance in a univariate context. As the number per individuals per flyway differ a great deal among flyways, PERMDISP is run to control for sample-size bias (samplesize_bias = TRUE).

pathToFile <- system.file("extdata", "mallard_genotype_Kraus2012", package = "smartsnp")
permdispR <- smart_permdisp(snp_data = pathToFile, sample_group = my_groups, 
                            target_space = "pca", missing_impute = "mean", pairwise = "TRUE", samplesize_bias = TRUE)

Assign sample summary to object permD, where column Sample_dispersion column show dispersion of individuals relative to their flyway:

permD <- permdispR$permdisp.samples

Show PERMDISP tables (global and pairwise):

Most PERMDISP pairwise tests show relatively high p values (i.e., high probability of the observed differences in dispersion if the null hypothesis of no dispersion differences among groups is true), indicating that PERMANOVA tests mainly captured differences in location. The lowest p values for the PERMDISP pairwise tests among Eurasian flyways occur for the Europe North Western (ENW) flyway versus the other flyways as seen in the ordination plot (i.e., ENW individuals are widely spread over both the PCA1 and PCA2 axes).

Run smart_mva

Run PCA, and PERMANOVA and PERMDISP tests (group location and dispersion in PCA1 x PCA2 space), and assign results to object mvaR. No pairwise comparisons are applied (default: pairwise = “FALSE”), so computation will be relatively fast. This is a wrapper function running in one single job the three other functions of the package (smart_pca, smart_permanova, smart_permdisp).

pathToFile <- system.file("extdata", "mallard_genotype_Kraus2012", package = "smartsnp")
mvaR <- smart_mva(snp_data = pathToFile, sample_group = my_groups, 
                            target_space = "pca", missing_impute = "mean", samplesize_bias = TRUE)

mvaR is a list with three elements (data, pca, test):
