Hi, I am having trouble opening a genepop file containing SNP data. The second row of my genepop file has the name of the markers (SNPs) separated by comas. When I upload it into Lositan, the program assumes that the whole row is one single marker, therefore there is only one data point in the graph. I tried modifying it: deleted the coma and put tab between markers, deleting the first row that contains information (date, time) about the file, putting each marker in a different row, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone come across this problem?
did you try comma-space? for example:
c1000924_6708, c1001084_35767, c1001084_39240, etc
Hi Mikhail, yes, I tried adding space after the coma and the program does not even recognise the data. I get a pop-up window saying "Dataset Fst: nan".
Hmmm. Can it be a line-endings problem? Could be the case if the genepop file is made on a Windows machine...
Yes, it was a line-endings problem. I checked the program files to look for an example of their genpop file and it had the markers in separate rows. I re-formatted my data like this and it worked. Thanks for your help.
