Hi,

I am using eigensoft/smartpca on a dataset merged with 1000 Genomes Project dataset. I have files in plink format and I was trying to use convertf to have eigensoft format, however I keep obtaining error: fatalx: ID too long [1] 71230 abort.

I used the familynames: NO and changed IDs in order to have them short (maximum is ~36 characters, if I am not wrong). Also, all multiallelic SNPs (anything that may have been recorded as "rsID;rsID" has been excluded). Using the mergeit options gives same error output.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for your time!
