The BLD-LDAK and BLD-LDAK+Alpha Models use 65 SNP annotations. Click here to download the first 64 annotations (warning, the file is 660Mb). For details of how to use these annotations (including how to create the final annotation), see Calculate Taggings.
Note that the predictor names are in the form Chr:BP, where the positions are from the GRCh37/hg19 assembly. Therefore, to use these annotations, you should first ensure the genomic positions in your genetic data files are also from the GRCh37/hg19 assembly. If not, you can update them using the LiftOver Tool. Next, you should ensure the predictor names in your data files are in the form Chr:BP. As an example, here is a script to change the predictor names in a bim file called data.bim.
mv data.bim data.bim.old
awk < data.bim.old '{$2=$1":"$4";print $0}' > data.bim

We obtained the 64 annotations as follows:
First we downloaded the folder 1000G_Phase3_baselineLD_v2.1_ldscores.tgz from https://data.broadinstitute.org/alkesgroup/LDSCORE. Within this folder, the .annot.gz files contain the 74 annotations of the Baseline LD Model. The BLD-LDAK Model uses Annotations 1-58 and 59-64.
We extracted all 74 annotations (plus Annotation 0, the base category) using the following commands:
rm bld0 base{1..74}
for j in {1..22}; do gunzip -c baselineLD_v1.1/baselineLD.$j.annot.gz | awk '(NR>1){for(j=1;j<=74;j++){if($(5+j)!=0){print $1":"$2, $(5+j) >> "base"j}}print $1":"$2 >> "bld0"}'; done
Then we excluded the 10 MAF bins using these two commands:
for j in {1..58}; do cp base$j > bld$j; done
for j in {59..64}; do cp base$((10+j)) bld$j; done

Below are the names of the 66 annotations in the BLD-LDAK Model (the 64 provided here, plus the LDAK Weightings and the base category). Note that the 26 marked with a * are binary annotations that can be used for estimating Heritability Enrichments.
