snpgdsGDS2BED: Conversion from GDS to PLINK BED

Description

Convert a GDS file to a PLINK binary ped file.

Usage

snpgdsGDS2BED(gdsobj, bed.fn, sample.id=NULL, snp.id=NULL, snpfirstdim=NULL, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

gdsobj

an object of class SNPGDSFileClass, a SNP GDS file; or characters, the file name of GDS

bed.fn

the file name of output

sample.id

a vector of sample id specifying selected samples; if NULL, all samples are used

snp.id

a vector of snp id specifying selected SNPs; if NULL, all SNPs are used

snpfirstdim

if TRUE, genotypes are stored in the individual-major mode, (i.e, list all SNPs for the first individual, and then list all SNPs for the second individual, etc); if NULL, determine automatically

verbose

if TRUE, show information

Value

None.

Details

GDS -- Genomic Data Structures, the extended file name used for storing genetic data, and the file format used in the gdsfmt package.

BED -- the PLINK binary ped format.

Examples

# open an example dataset (HapMap)
genofile <- snpgdsOpen(snpgdsExampleFileName())

snpset <- snpgdsSelectSNP(genofile, missing.rate=0.95)
snpgdsGDS2BED(genofile, bed.fn="test", snp.id=snpset)

# close the genotype file
snpgdsClose(genofile)


# delete the temporary files
unlink(c("test.bed", "test.bim", "test.fam"), force=TRUE)
