Regional association plots visualize results from association studies within a limited genomic region (500 kB).
For each trait-associated variant, the plot displays the strength of association (-log10(P)). The variants' symbols represent the functional annotations, the colors show the pairwise LD correlations to the sentinel variant. Furthermore, the plot shows the estimated recombination rate, genes, and regulatory elements.
SNiPA's interactive plots offer a lot of features such as zooming and tooltips containing summarized information for each variant. Check the documentation for a guided tour.

| Genome Assembly, Variant Set, Population, and Genome Annotation | ||
|---|---|---|
| Genome assembly: | Chromosome coordinates (and thus all genetic elements) are mapped to the selected human reference assembly. | |
| Variant set: | Linkage disequilibrium data and allele frequencies are computed for the selected variant set (and population where applicable). | |
| Population: | If a variant set contains more than one population, select the one that fits your study population best. | |
| Genome annotation: | Genetic elements are annotated based on data of the selected annotation dataset. | |

| Associations: |
Paste your association results here in the following format: First column: rs-identifiers. Second column: P-values. Valid delimiters: tabulator, whitespace, semicolon, and comma. Only variants that meet these criteria will be plotted:
For best plotting results, the variants should cover a chromosomal range of at least 100 kb. |
|
| Sentinel: |
You can define a variant that should be regarded as the sentinel. By default, the variant that displays the strongest association signal is selected. If you have added variants to SNiPA's clipboard, these are available as a preselection. |

Interactive plots offer detailed variant annotations as well as zooming and other features. However, this will only work on modern browsers.
If you have no interest in these features or if you are using a legacy browser, disable this option to speed up data processing. |

When enabled, SNiPA generates high-resolution PNG and PDF versions of the static plot. You can find and download the plots in the "Report" section. Disabling this option slightly speeds up data processing. |
