Creating Marker Map files from Illumina's BeadStudio

Using Illumina’s BeadStudio software you can create a marker map containing the SNPs, Chromosome and Physical Position pertaining your particular dataset under study.

To generate the marker map:

1. Select >Analysis >Reports >Report Wizard



2. On the window that pops up check Final Report and click Next

3. Select the samples you want and click Next again.



4.On the Final Report Format window, check the box under the General Options section labeled Create map files.Click Next.



5. Select the location to save the map files and click Finish. BeadStudio will then proceed to output three files: two map files and a comma delimited text file containing all alleles for all genotypes. If you don’t want to wait for the allele text file, which could take a very long time, click Cancel once the first sample (or SNP depending on the options chosen in the previous step) has started; the map files are created first and will be saved to the location you specified.

    If you installed the latest (v3.0) Illumina BeadStudio or Genome Studio plug-in from Golden Helix, you no longer need to create a separate marker map. The marker map is now included in the file that is created by the plug-in. However, if you are using HelixTree.exe for your analysis then this article still applies. HelixTree does not recognize the marker map data embedded in the DSF file.
