Hi,
I was curious to know what is the maximum amount of data that the EIGENSOFT package can process, specifically the smartPCA program. The page says about "special care" for upto 8 bil. genotypes, however, that is specified for the QTL program. I was more interested in just obtaining the PCs along with the eigenvalues. It'd be great if anyone can give some insight on this.
I am generating some simulation data to stress test the smartPCA code and hence wondering.
Thanks.
There is a good chance that this also depends on the RAM available on your computer.
The FAQ page says billion, not million:
True that, that's a typo on my part!
