traits_to_alleles

Example:

traits_to_alleles [arguments] < input > output

The standard input should be a tab-separated table (i.e., each line is a tab-separated set of fields). Normally, the last field in each line would contain the identifer. If another column contains the identifier use

-c N

where N is the column (from 1) that contains the identifier.

This is a pipe command. The input is taken from the standard input, and the output is to the standard output.
