Trouble after imputation with minimac

Hi all,

I have followed Minimac cookbook, http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac:_1000_Genomes_Imputation_Cookbook#Questions_and_Comments to impute with 1000 genome V3 as reference. However, the output files show alleles as Rs, Is and D`s in stead of A,T,C,G for some of the SNPs. Have anyone experienced this before? Because of this error, I cant convert the files to PED/MAP, or merge them in anyway. So I am basically stuck.

Please let me know if you have any ideas how to handle this.

Thanks!

I's and D's just tells you that the data is imputed and on that particular locus it is an Insertion/Deletion. If you don't want this you can remove indels using vcftools --remove-indels. This will get rid of all the multiallelic sites. You then will be able to convert them to plink PED/MAP.

Good luck!
