gene-list

The goal of this repository is to maintain a list of genes implicated in a range of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. This list was generated from various human genetics study designs—for example, GWAS surveying common variants and whole-exome sequencing (WES) studies surveying rare variants.

Important files

• list - Directory containing downloaded lists.
• output/risk_genes_brain.tsv - The final merged list.
• munge-gene-list.Rmd An R Markdown document that imports downloaded lists and generates the merged list.

How to add genes

1. Clone this repository, e.g. git clone git@github.com:gandallab/gene-list.git.
2. Download a tsv, csv, xlsx, or other tabular data file to the list directory.
3. Under Import Data in the Rmd, add a brief code snippet that shows how to import your data and filter it to significant/unique genes.
4. If you want your genes to appear in the output file, add a line that pulls the gene symbol column from your data into the geneset list under Combine Data.
5. Add a row to the Markdown table above. Make sure the short name column matches the variable name you chose in R.
6. Push your changes, e.g. git add .; git commit -m "added genes from [study name]"; git push.
