I have a genotype matrix (700 000 rows of SNPs and 2000 columns of samples). It's coded as 0/1/2 or NA. I want to convert this into plink format ped and map files. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks for the help!

With that format of one line per SNP, you're better off creating a TPED (transposed pedigree) file, and then creating PED/MAP (if necessary) from that using PLINK:
You'll need to recode your genotypes with actual bases depending on the variant, and create dummy parents and/or phenotypes for the individuals in the MAP file.
The biggest problem I have had with TPED format is that it requires location information to be stored for the variants in the TPED file.
Note that PLINK is able to handle TPED files as input, so unless you're using another program for analysis, you can keep the data in that format.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
