Use this feature to specify the current values of
genotypes
(or
alleles
if
marker variables
contain single alleles) that should be treated as missing. Missing character genotypes (designated by letters or word abbreviations) are recoded as
blank spaces
(
). Missing numeric genotypes are recoded as
dots
“
.
“.
Note
: Genotypes containing one or more missing alleles should be treated as missing.
In the example shown below, missing alleles are designated with an
asterisk
(
*
) in the input data set.
If there is a
comma
within the missing genotype or allele value, put the entire genotype or allele in
double quotation marks
. For example, if 0,0 and 0/0 both represent missing genotypes:

Type
“0,0”, 0/0
