Merges region data for cross-boundary genes without using LD

Usage

merge_region_data_noLD(
  boundary_genes,
  region_data,
  region_info,
  snp_map,
  z_snp,
  z_gene,
  expand = TRUE,
  maxSNP = Inf,
  ncore = 1,
  verbose = FALSE,
  logfile = NULL
)

Arguments

boundary_genes: a data frame of boundary gene info
region_data: a list of original region_data
region_info: a data frame of region definitions
snp_map: a list of data frames with SNP-to-region map for the reference.
z_snp: A data frame with columns: "id", "z", giving the z-scores for SNPs.
z_gene: A data frame with columns: "id", "z", giving the z-scores for genes.
expand: If TRUE, expand merged region_data with full SNPs
maxSNP: Inf or integer. Maximum number of SNPs in a region. Default is Inf, no limit. This can be useful if there are many SNPs in a region and you don't have enough memory to run the program.
ncore: The number of cores used to parallelize susie over regions
verbose: If TRUE, print detail messages
logfile: The log filename. If NULL, will print log info on screen.

Value

a list of merged region data, merged region info, snp_map, and merged region IDs.
