Mach takes unphased genotypes of unrelated individuals as input. Two input files are mandatory: a pedigree file and a marker information file. The pedigree file stores five key pieces of information and genotypes for each individual, with missing genotypes accepted and additional phenotypes allowed. The marker information file provides the list of marker names. Note that the list must be in order according to physical positions of the markers along the chromosomes. For more details, refer to

Pedigree File

<strong>Pedigree File</strong><br>

Each person contributes to one line in a pedigree file. Required fields are (1) the first five fixed fields corresponding to five key pieces of information (namely: family person father mother sex), and (2) genotype fields. Phenotype fields are allowed inbetween but will not be used by the program.
