Genotype calling from Illumina files
The third of a series of seven H3ABioNet online lectures for Genome
Wide Association Studies (GWAS) will introduce genotyping SNP array
chips with particular emphasis on the H3Africa genotype chip. The
lecture will cover common file formats when obtaining genotyping chip
data from a service provider such as Illumina and software used for
genotype calling. This lecture will also cover genotype calling, sample
and probe quality control, probe viewing and exporting of data using
GenomeStudio. Converting the data to PLINK format and some tips on
troubleshooting and common pitfalls will be discussed.
