How do I link an existing pedigree file with the files in GeneMarker?
After running the data in GeneMarker go to Tools>Pedigree Filename Match and open the existing pedigree file (.pre or .ped) in the first field. Next, load the sample files from the GeneMarker project into the second field. The family and individual identifiers are generally 14 to 18 and 19 to 23 respectively, but they may vary. Click ” Process ,” and a table will appear (. SMP file ) with the filenames correctly matched to the family and individual from the original pedigree file. Save this file in the same location as the original pedigree file. To open the linked pedigree file, go to Applications >Pedigree>Open Pedigree File and enter the original pedigree file in the top field. The linked .SMP file should automatically load into the second field.
