Additional file 8 of On the impact of relatedness on SNP association analysis

Perl script for converting HapMap genotype data. This Perl script requires the sample list of Additional file 6, the SNP list of Additional file 7 and HapMap raw data. The HapMap project website is not available anymore, however, genotype data can still be retrieved from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/hapmap/genotypes/2010-08_phaseII+III/ . The converted genotypes are saved in a CSV file. Folder and file locations must be adapted before running the script. Running the script on an Intel Xeon X5560 CPU (2.80 GHz) required 800 MB RAM and took about 5 minutes. (PL 2 kb)
