fcGENE: Genotype format converter

Main application is twofold: first to convert genotype SNP data into formats of different imputation tools like PLINK MACH, IMPUTE, BEAGLE and BIMBBAM, second to transform imputed data into different file formats like PLINK, HAPLOVIEW, EIGENSOFT and SNPTEST.

Readable file formats: plink-pedigree (ped and map), plink-raw, plink-dosage, mach , minimac, impute, snptest, beagle and bimbam. Similarly all kinds of imputation of outputs are also accepted.

Formats which can be generated by fcGENE: plink-pedigree, plink-raw, plink-dosage, mach-inputs, minimac-inputs, impute-inputs, beagle-inputs and bimbam-inputs, HAPLOVIEW-inputs, EIGENSOFT-inputs.
Further application:
-obtaining templates of necessary imputation commands and commands of other imputation tool
- Quality control according as MAF,HWE & CALLRATE.
