What is Python?

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java. Integrating Python into SVS 7 provides full programmatic access to many of the software's features enabling the augmentation of existing tools, creating entirely new ones, automation of work flows, integration with other programs and more.

Import MACH Output

Author: Jesse Dupre, Golden Helix, Inc.

This script will import output files from the MACH imputation package. http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/mach/

Note: If your MACH output data was generated using the HapMap website it will need to be converted from UTF-16 encoding to UTF-8 encoding for this script to work. There are free utilities online for this purpose. One such website is: http://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/utf2utf.htm
