Claims20
A method of providing information from one or more files to a database having a table, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor from a storage device, one or more files comprising imputed genetic data for one or more individuals, wherein the imputed genetic data is in a columnar format, and wherein the imputed genetic data includes markers for each of the one or more individuals;
- transposing, by the processor, the imputed genetic data from the one or more files for each of the one or more individuals from columnar format to a plurality of rows;
- and
- sending, by the processor, the transposed imputed genetic data to the storage device to be stored in the database with a column corresponding to each of the markers for each of the one or more individuals and a row for each of the one or more individuals.
A system configured to provide information from one or more files to a database having a table, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device,
- wherein the system is configured to:
- receive, by the processor from the storage device, one or more files comprising imputed genetic data for one or more individuals, wherein the imputed genetic data is in a columnar format, and wherein the imputed genetic data includes markers for each of the one or more individuals;
- transpose, by the processor, the imputed genetic data from the one or more files for each of the one or more individuals from columnar format to a plurality of rows;
- and
- send, by the processor, the transposed imputed genetic data to the storage device to be stored in the database with a column corresponding to each of the markers for each of the one or more individuals and a unique row for each of the one or more individuals.
