text: user8875: I can easily grab SNP-Chip data from NCBI's GEO database for a given Illumina SNP-Chip array, e.g. from here:
  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE52147
  GEO provides data as SOFT formatted family file(s), MINiML formatted family file(s) or Series Matrix File(s).
  I'm looking for a way to convert these into PED and MAP files for use in PLINK...
  Or does PLINK read these formats natively?
  
  user8875: Sadly the 'contact us' email at GEO didn't help at all.
  I ended up probably re-inventing the wheel with this script:

  YMMV
