gwas2crispr: GWAS-to-CRISPR Data Pipeline for High-Throughput SNP Target
Extraction
Provides a reproducible pipeline to conduct genome-wide association studies
(GWAS) and extract single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for a human trait or
disease. Given aggregated GWAS dataset(s) and a user-defined significance threshold,
the package retrieves significant SNPs from the GWAS Catalog using supported trait
identifiers, annotates their gene context, and can write a
harmonised metadata table in comma-separated values (CSV) format, genomic intervals in the Browser Extensible Data
(BED) format, and sequences in the FASTA (text-based sequence) format with user-defined flanking regions for clustered
regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) guide design. The existing
efo_id argument is retained for backward compatibility. The package prepares
computational artifacts for downstream workflows; it does not perform biological
causality testing, clinical interpretation, therapeutic design, or wet-lab validation.
