'''You may want to learn about new and improved [[Minimac4]].'''
'''minimac''' is a low memory, computationally efficient implementation of the MaCH algorithm for genotype imputation. It is designed to work on phased genotypes and can handle very large reference panels with hundreds or thousands of haplotypes. The name has two parts. The first, "mini", refers to the modest amount of computational resources it requires. The second, "mac", is short hand for [[MaCH]], our widely used algorithm for genotype imputation.

The current version of minimac should be stamped 2013.7.17 - if your version shows a different version number or date stamp when it runs, it is not current.

=== Preparing Your Data ===
To get started, you will need to store your data in [[Merlin]] format pedigree and data files, one per chromosome. For details, of the Merlin file format, see the [http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/Merlin/tour/input_files.html Merlin Tutorial].

Within each file, markers should be stored by chromosome position. Alleles should be stored in the forward strand and can be encoded as 'A', 'C', 'G' or 'T' (there is no need to use numeric identifiers for each allele).
