  • Error in plink: --homozyg-window-kb flag provisionally retired

    Hi all,

    I am really new to bioinformatics and tools such as PLINK.

    I am running commands on plink data created from whole genome information. I use PLINK to search for runs of homozygosity.

    Running the default option (plink --bfile <nameoffile> --homozyg) works, but as soon as I want to change default settings, for example:
    plink --bfile <nameoffile> --homozyg-window-kb 1000 it gives me this error:
    "Error: --homozyg-window-kb flag povisionally retired, since it had no effect in PLINK 1.07"

    I do not understand this error, since I am using PLINK 1.9 (I used module load and it is also the version that comes up when i use the which command).

    Can anyone help me with this? I really need to specify my own parameter settings.

    Many thanks!

    By the way: I know that in plink 1.07 I will have to change the flag into --homozyg-window-snp 1000
    (I hope this is correct indeed), but I want to know what I can do if I want to do it in 1.9 and not 1.07
    thanks!

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
