Linkdatagen.pl is a PERL script that generates LINKAGE style files for ALLEGRO and MERLIN, PREST, MORGAN and PLINK using as input the genotyping calls generated by BRLMM, Affymetrix annotation files, and a pedigree file. One of the assets of linkdatagen.pl is that it will allow the generation of LINKAGE files without having to use the Affymetrix GCOS software. For more details please refer to the linkdatagen documentation.
Linkdatagen.pl can handle 50K Xba, 50K Hind, 250K Sty, 250K Nsp, 5.0 and 6.0 Affymetrix chip data.
