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.

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.
