    plink to VCF error

    Hello all,


    I have a ped and map file which are to be converted to vcf format.

    A few genotypes from the ped file.

    Sample1 Sample1 0 0 2 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample2 Sample2 0 0 1 2 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample3 Sample3 0 0 1 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample4 Sample4 0 0 1 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C 0 0 G G A A T T
    Sample5 Sample5 0 0 2 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C 0 0 G G G A T T
    Sample6 Sample6 0 0 1 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample7 Sample7 0 0 2 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample8 Sample8 0 0 1 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample9 Sample9 0 0 1 1 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T
    Sample10 Sample10 0 0 1 2 0 0 G G G G 0 0 C C G G G G A A T T

    And few lines from map file:

    1 BICF2G630707759 0 3014448
    1 BICF2S2358127 0 3068620
    1 BICF2P1173580 0 3079928
    1 BICF2G630707846 0 3082514
    1 BICF2G630707893 0 3176980


    The following steps were preformed to convert to VCF:

    $PLINK --file sma --make-bed --out temp
    echo "PLINK temp files created"

    $PLINKSEQ sma-proj new-project
    echo "PlinkSeq project file created"

    $PLINKSEQ sma-proj load-plink --file temp --id loaded
    echo "PlinkSeq temp files loaded"

    $PLINKSEQ sma-proj write-vcf > sma.vcf
    echo "PlinkSeq finished! VCF file created"

    The output looks like as shown below:

    ##fileformat=VCFv4.1
    ##source=pseq
    ##FILTER=<ID=PASS,Description="Passed variant FILTERs">
    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT Sample1 Sample2 Sample3 Sample4 Sample5
    chr1 3014448 BICF2G630707759 0 0 . PASS . GT ./. ./. ./. ./. ./.
    chr1 3068620 BICF2S2358127 G 0 . PASS . GT 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1
    chr1 3079928 BICF2P1173580 G 0 . PASS . GT 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1
    chr1 3082514 BICF2G630707846 0 0 . PASS . GT ./. ./. ./. ./. ./.
    chr1 3176980 BICF2G630707893 C 0 . PASS . GT 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1


    Some data has '0' for ref, alt or both. I do not understand what this means and how this error occurs.
    Would be highly valuable help if someone can let me understand the problem and suggest any ideas to fix this.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    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
