Sex Differences in Genetic Architecture: Analysis Code for UK Biobank

Scripts from the 2021 study "Sex differences in genetic architecture in UK Biobank" by Bernabeu et al. The code repository contains the analysis pipeline used in the published research. Elena Bernabeu from the University of Edinburgh authored the work.

Use Cases

• Replicate genetic architecture analyses based on the described UK Biobank data processing steps.
• Adapt the provided scripts for conducting sex-stratified genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
• Use the code as a template for quality control and statistical analysis of genetic data.

Strengths

• Code is directly linked to a peer-reviewed 2021 publication, providing methodological transparency.
• The README file lists the code used for each step of the data analysis, offering structured documentation.

Limitations

• The repository contains only analysis scripts; the underlying UK Biobank genetic data is not included and requires separate access.
• Row count, file formats, and data size for any intermediate outputs are unknown.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
