PLINK Binary Input Engine
The PLINK Binary Input Engine imports a PLINK (Purcell et al., 2007) binary file ( .bed ) and associated text files ( .bim and .fam ) into a SAS data set containing the marker genotypes and traits , and a SAS data set containing annotation (marker map) information.
What do I need?
Three files are needed to run this process:
The PED file in binary format ( .bed ). The SNP_984_sample1000.bed file included in the SNP984_Sample1000 sample setting for this process serves as an example.
The extended map text file ( .bim ). The SNP_984_sample1000.bim file serves as an example and is partially shown below.
The .fam text file. The SNP_984_sample1000.fam file serves as an example and is partially shown below.
All files included in the SNP984_Sample1000 sample setting for this process were downloaded from http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/research/skat/download/ . For additional details about the required file formats, please refer to the following links:
For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see Files and Data Sets .
Output/Results
The output data sets generated by this process are listed in a Results window. Refer to the PLINK Binary Input Engine output documentation for detailed descriptions.
