Dear R users 
 
The following question looks simple but I have spend alot of time to solve
it. I would highly appeciate your help.  
 
I have following dataset from family dataset : 
 
Here we have individuals and their two parents and their marker scores
(marker1, marker2,....and so on). 0 means that their parent information not
available. 
 
 
Individual      Parent1  Parent2         mark1   mark2  
1        0       0       12      11     
2        0       0       11      22     
3        0       0       13      22     
4        0       0       13      11     
5        1       2       11      12     
6        1       2       12      12     
7        3       4       11      12     
8        3       4       13      12     
9        1       4       11      12     
10       1       4       11      12     
 
I want to recode mark1 and other mark2.....and so on column by looking
indvidual parent (Parent1 and Parent2). 
 
For example 
 
Take case of Individual 5, who's Parent 1 is 1 (has mark1 score 12) and
Parent 2 is 2 (has mark1 score 11). Individual 5 has mark1 score 11. Suppose
I have following condition to recode Individual 5's mark1 score:
 
For mark1 variable, If Parent1 score "11" and Parent2 score "22" and recode
indvidual 5's score, "12"=1, else 0
                                    If Parent1 score "12" and Parent2 score
"22" and recode individual 5's score, "22"=1, "12"= 0.5, else 0
                                    .........................more conditions
 
Similarly the pointer should move from individual 5 to n individuals at the
end of the file. 
 
 Thank you in advance
