Assessment of Imputation Quality: Comparison of Phasing and Imputation Algorithms in Real Data.

ABSTRACT: Despite the widespread use of genotype imputation tools and the availability of different approaches, late developments of currently used programs have not been compared comprehensively. We therefore assessed the performance of 35 combinations of phasing and imputation programs, including versions of SHAPEIT, Eagle, Beagle, minimac, PBWT, and IMPUTE, for genetic imputation of completely missing SNPs with a HRC reference panel regarding quality and speed. We used a data set comprising 1,149 fully sequenced individuals from the German population, subsetting the SNPs to approximate the Illumina Infinium-Omni5 array. Five hundred fifty-three thousand two hundred and thirty-four SNPs across two selected chromosomes were utilized for comparison between imputed and sequenced genotypes. We found t
