Pedigree Input Engine

The Pedigree Input Engine imports pedigree data into a SAS data set. Pedigree data in formats such as LINKAGE (Lathrop et al., 1986), QTDT (Abecasis et al., 2000), Genehunter (Kruglyak et al., 1996), and FBAT (Horvath et al., 2004) are accommodated by this input engine.

What do I need?

One or two input files. The ped_all_columns.txt file serves as an example, and is shown below.

This file is located in the Sample Data\Genetics directory included with JMP Genomics.

For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see Files and Data Sets .
