<DATA>
LINKAGE pedigree files can be read in directly (handy for
checking coding). There must be at least two spaces between
locus codes, and only single spaces between the symbols within a
locus code, i.e. PEDRAW expects to find codes such as:
2 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1
PEDRAW expects to find a file with extension .PED to be in a
format suitable to be read by MAKEPED, and with .PPD if the file
has been output by MAKEPED. This clashes with the convention
suggested in the most recent LINKAGE documentation of having the
former with an extension .DAT and the latter with an extension
.PED. The PEDRAW convention is the one used by LINKSYS and files
may have to be renamed accordingly.
LINKAGE files are treated as follows:
1. A unique ID number is constructed by multiplying the
pedigree number by 1000 and adding the individual number, so
that individual 2 from pedigree 3 gets an ID of 3002.
2. Each of the locus codes is read into a text line. Single
spaces within locus codes are removed, so that 0 1 1 becomes
011.
3. As for LINKSYS files, PEDRAW attempts to guess the diagnosis
code by assuming that the first locus code is affection status.
If the first digit of the first locus code is 2 the diagnosis
code is set to 1 (for solid shading), otherwise it is set to 0
