Hi there,

I'm interested to work with .gen file generated from IMPUTE2 imputation tool. In particular I need probabilities per SNP. I use snpStats' function:

test_impute<-read.impute("genotyped_snps_chr22.impute", rownames = NULL, nsnp = NULL, snpcol = 2)

But the output I get is snpMatrix, which I fail to unpack and access. Is there a way I can see first 10 rows and column from this matrix? 

show(test_impute)
class(test_impute)
summary(test_impute)
attributes(test_impute) This prints all SNP ids on screen
names(test_impute)

None of these help. 

Is there a better way that could allow me to access these probabilities for my downstream analysis? 

I'm looking at gtx package's read.snpdata.impute function - but this is awfully slow. I've 13K snps in the input file.

Thanks.
