Generates knockoff copies of HMMs and genomic data.
Project description
# SNPknock
SNPknock is a simple Python package for creating knockoffs of hidden Markov models and genetic data.
This package implements the algorithms described in the following papers:
“Gene hunting with hidden Markov model knockoffs”, Sesia et al., Biometrika, 2019, [doi:10.1093/biomet/asy033](https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/biomet/asy033).
“Multi-resolution localization of causal variants across the genome”, Sesia et al., bioRxiv, 2019, [doi:10.1101/631390](https://dx.doi.org/10.1101/631390).
Feature highlights:
Generate knockoffs for discrete Markov chains (DMC).
Generate knockoffs for hidden Markov models (HMM).
Generate knockoffs for genotype and haplotype data.
Provides a user-friendly interface for fitting an HMM to genetic data using the software fastPhase.
