Hi everyone,

I would really appreciated if any one would help me with this. I want to load my data in Excel file into PLINK , I Know I have to converted to other format so that PLINK will be able to read . I tried to save it as txt but it did not seem to work. I'm using Mac osx. Also, If any one can recommend me a good practical guide/tutorial on how to use PLINK , I would really appreciated.

I really apologize for my stupid question but I really need help to start with PLINK.

How does the text file (first couple of lines!) you saved from Excel look like?

If any one can recommend me a good practical guide/tutorial on how to use PLINK

http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/ and https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink2/general_usage (the latter to fully exploit the novelties introduced in the new version).
