Norm.ID field of beadFile.txt input file for beadarrayMSV

Question

[kaylamh6]

Hello,

I have a question about the beadFile.txt input file required for analyzing in bead summary data using the beadarrayMSV package. Specifically, I am wondering how to obtain the data to include for the Norm.ID field. The only information I can find about it in the beadarrayMSV documentation is the following:

“Norm.ID” connecting beads to markers (usually exported from Illumina’s GenomeStudio Genotyping Module)"

Is there a way to obtain this information without going through GenomeStudio? I checked the SNP manifest file provided by Illumina and can't find anything that looks like it would be the Norm.ID. Is there anywhere else I should look?

Thanks in advance,

Kayla
