Error when converting .gprobs files from Impute2 to PLINK format
I have a set of .gprobs files that I need to import into Plink. However, I keep getting the same error -- a problem in a specific line, even after I removed that line and the lines around it.
The data: I concatenated all 22 chromosome .gprobs files. To do so, I did replace the '---' at the beginning of the individual .gprobs files with the corresponding chromosome number (so now each line starts CHR SNP BP A1 A2...) . I also removed the SNPs that weren't imputed well (INFO scores below 0.7)
Code:
plink --gen data_chrALL.gprobs_chrcol_below0.7inforemoved --sample data_chr1.sample --out data_chrALL.gprobs_plink
The error message:
--data: 13404k variants converted.Error: Line 13404781 of .gen file has fewer tokens than expected.
As I said above, I removed that specific line and reran it, and got the same exact error message. I tried removing the lines above and below (in case the numbering was off by a header or something?) but again, same exact error.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm in desperate need of help.

how did you remove the SNPs that weren't imputed well? Probably you can use qctools to remove those SNPs and then try again
