ShinyAIM: Shiny-based application of interactive Manhattan plots for longitudinal genome-wide association studies.

ABSTRACT: Owning to advancements in sensor-based, non-destructive phenotyping platforms, researchers are increasingly collecting data with higher temporal resolution. These phenotypes collected over several time points are cataloged as longitudinal traits and used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Longitudinal GWAS typically yield a large number of output files, posing a significant challenge to data interpretation and visualization. Efficient, dynamic, and integrative data visualization tools are essential for the interpretation of longitudinal GWAS results for biologists; however, these tools are not widely available to the community. We have developed a flexible and user-friendly Shiny-based online application, ShinyAIM, to dynamically view and interpret temporal GWAS results. The main
