Help | DougSpeed.com (original) (raw)

I welcome questions and suggestions, and will try my best to reply promptly. However, please note the following:

1 - If you are having problems running LDAK, please make sure you are using the most current release (obtain the latest version from the LDAK GitHub pages, then try the command again).

2 - If you are unable to run an example command, please be aware that you should replace ./ldak.out with the name of the LDAK executable (e.g., replace ./ldak.out with ./ldak6.2.linux or ./ldak6.2.mac).

3 - I prefer if you ask questions by opening a new issue on the LDAK GitHub pages. When asking questions about LDAK, please include both the COMMANDS you ran and the SCREEN OUTPUT these produced (this makes understanding your questions much easier).

For example, this is a bad question:

Hi Doug, I'm having trouble with --cut-genes

Whereas this is a good question:

Hi Doug, I'm having trouble with --cut-genes. This is the command I used:

./ldak.out --cut-genes genes --bfile data --chunks-bp 75000

and here is the screen output:

LDAK - Software for obtaining Linkage Disequilibrium Adjusted Kinships and Loads More
Version 6 - Help pages at www.dougspeed.com

There are 4 pairs of arguments:
--cut-genes genes
--bfile data
--chunks-bp 75000

Error reading data.bed; check file exists and is not empty
