Abstract
Summary Sparse canonical correlation analysis (SCCA) is a useful approach for correlating one set of measurements, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), with another set of measurements, such as gene expression levels. We present a fast implementation of SCCA, enabling rapid analysis of hundreds of thousands of SNPs together with thousands of phenotypes. Our approach is implemented both as an R package flashpcaR and within the standalone commandline tool flashpca.
