snpgdsGDS2Eigen: Conversion from GDS to Eigen (EIGENSTRAT)

Description

Convert a GDS file to an EIGENSTRAT file.

Usage

snpgdsGDS2Eigen(gdsobj, eigen.fn, sample.id=NULL, snp.id=NULL, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

gdsobj

an object of class SNPGDSFileClass, a SNP GDS file

eigen.fn

the file name of EIGENSTRAT

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

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.

Eigen -- the text format used in EIGENSTRAT.

Examples

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

snpset <- snpgdsSelectSNP(genofile, missing.rate=0.95)
snpgdsGDS2Eigen(genofile, eigen.fn="tmpeigen", snp.id=snpset)

# close the genotype file
snpgdsClose(genofile)


# delete the temporary files
