Genotype data helps understand how genetic variations lead to genetic diseases This data is extremely large to store and analyze efficiently Thus, the PLINK format was introduced to save storage space. This research implemented a data parallel algorithm in Rust to convert raw genotype data into the PLINK bed and bim format to speed up processing time
