How to reproduce the results

Before starting reproducing, here are some important notes:

  • You will need a lot of space to run all experiments
  • The scripts ran in a HPC cluster using SLURM, thus you may need to rename job partitions accordingly to the HPC cluster you use (check the .sh files)

Clone repository and download the data

After cloning the repository, download the data here, extract it, and put both Training_Data and Testing_Data folders inside the data folder. Unzip the VCF file Training_Data/5_Genotype_Data_All_Years.vcf.zip.

The folder structure should be as follows:

Maize_GxE_Prediction/
├── data/
│   ├── Training_Data/
│   └── Testing_Data/
├── src/
├── logs/
├── output/
│   ├── cv0/  
│   ├── cv1/
│   └── cv2/

Setup conda and R packages

Install the conda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Install R packages:

# from CRAN
install.packages("arrow")
install.packages("data.table")
install.packages("AGHmatrix")
install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("asreml")  # for BLUEs and FA

# from github source
setRepositories(ind = 1:2)
devtools::install_github("samuelbfernandes/simplePHENOTYPES")

Preprocessing

  1. Create BLUEs:
JOB_BLUES=$(sbatch --parsable 1-job_blues.sh)
  1. Create datasets for cross-validation schemes:
JOB_DATASETS=$(sbatch --dependency=afterok:$JOB_BLUES --parsable 2-job_datasets.sh)
  1. Filter VCF and create kinships matrices (you will need vcftools and plink here):
JOB_GENOMICS=$(sbatch --dependency=afterok:$JOB_DATASETS --parsable 3-job_genomics.sh)
  1. Create Kronecker products between environmental and genomic relationship matrices (will take some hours):
JOB_KRON=$(sbatch --dependency=afterok:$JOB_GENOMICS --parsable 4-job_kroneckers.sh)

Models

  1. Fit E models:
for i in {1..10}; do sbatch --export=seed=${i} --job-name=Eseed${i} --output=logs/job_e_seed${i}.txt 5-job_e.sh; done
  1. Fit G and G+E models:
for i in {1..10}; do sbatch --export=seed=${i} --job-name=Gseed${i} --output=logs/job_g_seed${i}.txt 6-job_g.sh; done
  1. Fit GxE models (will take several hours):
for i in {1..10}; do sbatch --export=seed=${i} --job-name=GxEs${i} --output=logs/job_gxe_seed${i}.txt --dependency=afterok:$JOB_KRON --parsable 7-job_gxe.sh; done
  1. fit GBLUP FA(1) models (will take several hours):
for i in {1..10}; do sbatch --export=seed=${i} --job-name=faS${i} --output=logs/job_fa_seed${i}.txt 8-job_fa.sh; done

Some files in output will be big, particularly the Kronecker files, so you might want to exclude them later.


Results (optional)

We can check some results directly from the terminal. Here are some examples:

Check some GxE results:

find logs/ -name 'gxe_*' | xargs grep -E 'RMSE:*' | head

Store SVD explained variances:

find logs/ -name '*cv*' | xargs grep -E '*variance*' > logs/svd_explained_variance.txt

Check accuracy of GBLUP FA(1) models in CV0:

grep \\[1\\] logs/fa_cv0*

Check which models are done for GxE in one of the repetitions:

cat logs/job_gxe_seed6.txt
