snpgdsGDS2PED: Conversion from GDS to PED

Description

Convert a GDS file to a PLINK ped file.

Usage

snpgdsGDS2PED(gdsobj, ped.fn, sample.id=NULL, snp.id=NULL, use.snp.rsid=TRUE, format=c("A/G/C/T", "A/B", "1/2"), verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

gdsobj

a GDS file object (gds.class)

ped.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

use.snp.rsid

if TRUE, use "snp.rs.id" instead of "snp.id" if available

format

specify the coding: "A/G/C/T" -- allelic codes stored in "snp.allele" of the GDS file; "A/B" -- A and B codes; "1/2" -- 1 and 2 codes

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.
