first column in PLINK PED file), and the output filename. The user is then free of choosing the output allele coding, the population ID used (e.g. Please see the ExampleData folder to see what a (fake) FinalReport in ROW format looks like. It requires 2 input files: a 'FinalReport' file in ROW format and a SNP map file (both provided by the genotyping lab). Illumina ROW format: this option converts formats from Illumina ROW to PLINK (PED & MAP).This GUI was built using PyQT project (full code provided). In fact, SNPConvert is able to convert any Illumina SNP-array raw format (ROW and MATRIX formats) to PLINK (PED & MAP), modify the allele coding of the file and the map information for any PLINK file (using SNPchimp output files). SNPConvert is a simple GUI built from three programs you'll find in the 'source_codes' folders. Linux users are required to use the source codes from command line (See section 3). SNPConvert is a all-in-one user-friendly GUI for Windows and Mac 64bit users.
(2016) SNPConvert: SNP Array Standardization and Integration in Livestock Species. If you use this tool for your reseach please cite: To run these programs you need Python (2.6+, although 2.7+ or latest is highly recommended for better performances) installed on your computer. Source codes were fully tested on Linux/Unix/Mac. Running the GUI has no requirements (just decompress and double click on the executable).
The GUI was tested on Windows10 and Mac computers (64bits).
