Final Project - a possible problem with the data

Hi Regev,

As far as I understand, odd lines in the 'positions' array contain the chromosome number whereas even numbers contain the nucleotide number on the chromosome. If this is the case, it only provides information for half of the rows in the dataset (and only for 8 out of 23 chromosome pairs). Can you please explain where my mistake might be (or otherwise upload the rest of the 'positions' array too)?

Thanks!

What do you mean by the positions array? The positions.txt file has 165229 lines, one per SNP. As far as I can tell, all the chromosomes are there.

My mistake, I tried to load it using csvread.

Thanks.
