Tractor - A GWAS tool for admixed population
Welcome to Tractor!
For a comprehensive understanding of Tractor’s methodology and application, we invite you to read our following 2021 Nature Genetics publication here.
Atkinson, E.G., Maihofer, A.X., Kanai, M. et al. Tractor uses local ancestry to enable the inclusion of admixed individuals in GWAS and to boost power. Nat Genet 53, 195–204 (2021).
To facilitate users in implementing the method, we’ve curated a series of tutorials available here. These tutorials cover each step of the Tractor pipeline using a toy dataset. Please download and unzip the provided file with the toy data to follow along.
Please note that while this tutorial offers a high-level guide to running Tractor, users are advised to ensure the reliability and accuracy of phasing and local ancestry inference, as these factors influence the Tractor GWAS results.
