Hi

I am trying to use the --split-x flag to create the 25th chromosome XY.

Can someone tell me why

./plink --bfile aibl200 --split-x 'b37/hg19' no-fail --make-bed --out split200

keeps giving me "Error: Unrecognized --split-x build code 'b37/hg19'"??

It does the same when I use coordinates instead of build.

I have tried many variations, testing this, but this is consistantly the error message that I get.

Thanks

Maryam

You're supposed to use "--split-x b37" or "--split-x hg19".

Thanks.

Why would using the start positions give me the same error message.

./plink --noweb --bfile aibl200 --split-x '154931044' '2699520' no-fail --make-bed --out split200

Error: Invalid --split-x parameter '2699520'

There shouldn't be quotes around the numbers, and the smaller number should be first.
