"Are you able to suggest how long an ExWAS would take, such that I may estimate the cost?".

    Hi Catherine,

     

    A recent study on ExWAS (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04103-z) identified 12 million total variants of UKB exome data and performed the association analysis using Regenie.

     

    As a start, here is a performance reference for Regenie:

    https://rgcgithub.github.io/regenie/performance/

    This page shows the timing of quantitative and binary traits of ~11 million variants. So, you can use this for estimating your ExWAS cases.

     

    Please note that the timing used a computing system with 16 virtual CPU cores. So, your timing will also depend on the instance type you choose on RAP. Typically, you will get a faster timing with a system with better specs (i.e., more and faster cores and memory).

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Regards,

    Agung
