GenoConvert | R Documentation |
Convert genotype data in various formats to sequoia's 1-column-per-marker format or Colony's 2-columns-per-marker format.
GenoConvert(
InData = NULL,
InFile = NULL,
InFormat = "raw",
OutFile = NA,
OutFormat = "seq",
Missing = c("-9", "??", "?", "NA", "NULL", "-1", c("0")[InFormat %in% c("col",
"ped")]),
sep = c(" ", "\t", ",", ";"),
header = NA,
IDcol = NA,
FIDcol = NA,
FIDsep = "__",
dropcol = NA,
quiet = FALSE
)
InData |
dataframe or matrix with genotypes to be converted. |
InFile |
character string with name of genotype file to be converted. |
InFormat |
One of 'single', 'double', 'col', 'ped', 'raw', or 'seq', see Details. |
OutFile |
character string with name of converted file. If NA, return matrix with genotypes in console (default); if NULL, write to 'GenoForSequoia.txt' in current working directory. |
OutFormat |
as |
Missing |
vector with symbols interpreted as missing data. '0' is missing data for InFormats 'col' and 'ped' only. |
sep |
vector with field separator strings that will be tried on
|
header |
a logical value indicating whether the file contains a header as its first line. If NA (default), set to TRUE for 'raw', and FALSE otherwise. |
IDcol |
number giving the column with individual IDs; 0 indicates the rownames (for InData only). If NA (default), set to 2 for InFormat 'raw' and 'ped', and otherwise to 1 for InFile and 0 (rownames) for InData, except when InData has a column labeled 'ID'. |
FIDcol |
column with the family IDs, if any are wished to be used. This is column 1 for InFormat 'raw' and 'seq', but those are by default not used. |
FIDsep |
string used to paste FID and IID together into a composite-ID
(value passed to |
dropcol |
columns to exclude from the output data, on top of IDcol and FIDcol (which become rownames). When NA, defaults to columns 3-6 for InFormat 'raw' and 'seq'. Can also be used to drop some SNPs, see example below on how to do this for the 2-columns-per-SNP input formats. |
quiet |
suppress messages and warnings. |
The first two arguments are interchangeable, and can be given unnamed. The first argument is assumed to be a file name if it is of class 'character' and length 1, and to be the genetic data if it is a matrix or dataframe.
A genotype matrix in the specified output format. If 'OutFile' is specified, the matrix is written to this file and nothing is returned inside R. When converting to 0/1/2 format, 2 is the homozygote for the minor allele, and 0 the homozygote for the major allele.
The following formats can be specified by InFormat
:
(sequoia) genotypes are coded as 0, 1, 2, missing as -9
,
in 1 column per marker. Column 1 contains IDs, there is no header row.
(PLINK) genotypes are coded as 0, 1, 2, missing as NA, in 1 column per marker. The first 6 columns are descriptive (1:FID, 2:IID, 3 to 6 ignored), and there is a header row. This is produced by PLINK's option –recodeA
(PLINK) genotypes are coded as A, C, T, G, missing as 0, in 2 columns per marker. The first 6 columns are descriptive (1:FID, 2:IID, 3 to 6 ignored).
(Colony) genotypes are coded as numeric values, missing as 0, in 2 columns per marker. Column 1 contains IDs.
1 column per marker, otherwise unspecified
2 columns per marker, otherwise unspecified
For each InFormat
, its default values for Missing, header,
IDcol, FIDcol
, and dropcol
can be overruled by specifying the
corresponding input parameters.
Occasionally when reading in a file GenoConvert
may give an error
that 'rows have unequal length'. GenoConvert makes use of
readLines
and strsplit
, which is much faster
than read.table
for large datafiles, but also more sensitive
to unusual line endings, unusual end-of-file characters, or invisible
characters (spaces or tabs) after the end of some lines. In these cases,
try to read the data from file using read.table or read.csv, and then use
GenoConvert
on this dataframe or matrix, see example.

## Not run:
# Requires PLINK installed & in system PATH:
# tinker with window size, window overlap and VIF to get a set of
# 400 - 800 markers (100-200 enough for just parentage):

write.table(GenoM, file="Geno_sequoia.txt", quote=FALSE, col.names=FALSE)
GenoM <- as.matrix(read.table("Geno_sequoia.txt", row.names=1, header=FALSE))
# drop some SNPs, e.g. after a warning of >2 alleles:
dropSNP <- c(5,68,101,128)
GenoM <- GenoConvert(ColonyFile, InFormat = "col",
dropcol = 1 + c(2*dropSNP-1, 2*dropSNP) )
# circumvent a 'rows have unequal length' error:
