meta analysis error: no variant ID field found

[mehrnoosh shokouhi]

Dears,

I am trying to do meta analysis. this the plink version I am working with:

PLINK v1.90b6.18 64-bit (16 Jun 2020)          www.cog-genomics.org/plink/1.9/
(C) 2005-2020 Shaun Purcell, Christopher Chang   GNU General Public License v3

 And the picture attached is the head of one my my files.

Also, this is my code for doing meta analysis:

#!/usr/bin/bash
source ~/.bashrc
# Clearing (cleaning) the terminal
clear
echo -e 'Start'
# load the plink tool
module load plink/1.9
Path_onco_results=/DATA/users/m.shokouhi/projects/GWAS-for-CBC/plink/plink2_terminal/meta_analysis/filtered_modified_onco_results.txt
Path_icogs_results=/DATA/users/m.shokouhi/projects/GWAS-for-CBC/plink/plink2_terminal/meta_analysis/filtered_modified_icogs_results.txt
DirOutput=/DATA/users/m.shokouhi/projects/GWAS-for-CBC/plink/plink2_terminal/meta_analysis/filtered_onco_icogs_meta_analysis_results.txt
plink --meta-analysis $Path_onco_results $Path_icogs_results --out $DirOutput

Can you recognize something wrong here?  

Best,

Mehrnoosh

No, I was not able to replicate the error you reported with the information you provided.  You'll need to provide actual input and .log files (could be just the first 10 lines of each main file, if that's enough to replicate the error).
