Deliverables will include the genotyping data for all the samples and the raw data files in .cel format (CEL files) and PLINK format (either .ped and .map or .bed, .bim, and .fam). Unused tissue samples and DNA samples will be sent back to the government. Contractor shall provide all services, supplies, equipment and facilities necessary to provide the deliverable specified in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this document.
