I am having problems with plink2 --recode 23 cannot be used with multi-char alleles. I tried then to modify the vcf to remove multi-char alleles using VcfMultiToOneAllele, which did a great job but the output file, even though it looks like a vcf, it was not recognized as such by plink2 no genotype data in .vcf file. Any other tool up to the task?
