where can i find the GRCh38 genetic map for IMPUTE2

Hi all,

any advice on where i can find the genetic map for the GRCh38 version of 1000Genomes? this is needed as a parameter in the imputation process by IMPUTE2.

map grch38 impute2

thanks for the recommendation. the reason behind using IMPUTE2 is the -merge_ref_panels option which is not available in IMPUTE5

why not just merge them using e.g. bcftools before and then run IMPUTE5?

the idea behind the -merge_ref_panels from IMPUTE5 is that it merges one reference panel into the other then use the output for imputation. i am interested to see is one reference panel would be unable to impute the rare variants and hence the impact on the imputation process

hi all,

i finally found the genetic map for build GRCh38. it is at the below link if anyone needs to have it
