CandiHap
is a user-friendly local software, that can fast preselect candidate causal SNPs from Sanger or next-generation sequencing data
, and report results in table and exquisite vector-graphs within a minute. Investigators can use CandiHap to specify a gene or linkage sites based on GWAS and explore favourable haplotypes of candidate genes for target traits. CandiHap can be run on computers with Windows
, Mac OS X
, or Linux
platforms in graphical user interface or command lines, and applied to any species
of plant, animal and microbial. The analysis of CandiHap can do as the followings:
1). Convert the VCF file to the hapmap format for CandiHap (vcf2hmp
);
2). Haplotype analysis for a gene (CandiHap
);
3). Haplotype analysis for all genes in the LD regions of a significant SNP one by one (GWAS_LD2haplotypes
);
4). Haplotype analysis for Sanger sequencing data of population variation (sanger_CandiHap.sh
).

Gene structure and SNPs of ARE1. b,
Major haplotypes of SNPs in the ARE1 coding region of 2747 rice varieties. c,
The haplotype results of ARE1 coding region of 3023 rice varieties using CandiHap (SNPs data were downloaded from RFGB). Major SNP haplotypes and casual variations in the encoded amino acid residues are shown. The five more SNPs is due to the fact that there are 276 more rice varieties used in our study (highlighted by blue boxes), and two errors highlighted by red boxes.
In the future, CandiHap will be regularly updated, and extended to fulfill more functions with more user-friendly options.
