I downloaded a data set in Eigensoft's PACKEDANCESTRYMAP format (http://genetics.med.harvard.edu/reich/Reich_Lab/Datasets_files/EuropeFullyPublic.tar.gz). I used convertf to convert the files to map/ped files.

The files used multiple spaces instead of tabs, so I did some find/replaces in shell to get the files into proper format.

On each line of the map file, looks like this

1    Affx-13943225    0.020130    752566    G    A
1    Affx-14804912    0.022518    842013    T    G

1    Affx-4055225    0.028311    1108637    G    A

The last two columns are the two alleles at each site.

1 SA062 0 0 1 1 1 1 4 4 1 1 2 4 1 3 3 3 3 3 1 1 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 4 4 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 4 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 3 3 1 3 1 1 4 4 2 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 2 2 3 3 1 1 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 1 1 4 4 2 4 2 2 3 3 1 1 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 3 3 3

That is a bit of the first line of the ped file.

I wish to convert the data into a standard ACGT-coded Plink dataset. I was wondering if you know how this can be implemented.
