In amstilp/GWASTools: Tools for Genome Wide Association Studies

Description

Pseudoautosomal region (XTR, PAR1, PAR2) base positions for the X and Y chromsosomes from the GRCh36/hg18, GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 genome builds.

Usage

pseudoautosomal.hg18
pseudoautosomal.hg19
pseudoautosomal.hg38

Format

A data.frame with the following columns.

chrom

chromosome (X or Y)

region

region (XTR, PAR1, or PAR2)

start.base

starting base position of region

end.base

ending base position of region

Details

The XTR region on X is defined as DXS1217 to DXS3. The XTR region on Y is defined as SY20 to DXYS1.
