Is there an option from ukbtools to automatically collapse cohorts into one column? For example, collapsing

"hdl_cholesterol_f30760_0_0" "hdl_cholesterol_f30760_1_0"

to

"hdl_cholesterol_f30760"

No, because there's no single best way to combine multiple instances and arrays (captured by the last two integers in the name). How you combine them, if at all, is phenotype dependent.
