snp.plotter is an R package that creates publishable-quality plots of p-values using single SNP and/or haplotype data. Main features of the package include options to display a linkage disequilibrium (LD) plot and the ability to plot multiple sets of results simultaneously. Plots can be created using global and/or individual haplotype p-values along with single SNP p-values. Images are created as either Portable Document Format or Encapsulated (EPS) files.
Here is a sample image as both a PDF and a EPS image. PDF images can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader software. EPS (or PDF) images can be viewed using front-end software for Ghostscript, a Postscript and PDF interpreter: Ghostview and GV for Unix/X11 systems and GSView for Windows.
Researchers conducting gene association studies who need to create images showing results in the form of p-values of their work along with a linkage disequilibrium plot to show the underlying structure of the study population. Because snp.plotter is a visualization tool, the type of study design used either family-based, case-control, or a combination is irrelevant.
