    dataplink -- Import .ped and .map files from recoded, tab delimited,
    plink files into Stata

Syntax

    dataplink using filename (Do not include .PED or .MAP)

Description

     dataplink is a simple program for importing recoded data from
     plink. Dataplink imports genotypic from .ped files and also
     imports variable names (snp names) from .map files.

     Data from plink must be exported using the following commands:

         --recode / --recode12
         --tab

     Once your data is exported from plink, you should have two files
     of the same name but with different extensions: .ped and .map.
     The .ped file contains genotype data while the .map file
     contains the names of the SNPs.

     ! Important: When you specify the filename do not use extensions
     (i.e. do not add .ped or .map). Dataplink will look for a .map
     and .ped file of the same name

Usage

     Example Input

          dataplink using "C:/my/dir/chrom1segment"

     ! Important: Notice that the file extension .map and .ped are
     not included!

     ! Important LIMIT: Stata can import a maximum of 32,767
     variables in SE and MP flavors and 2,047 in IC. This means you
     can only import ~32,000 SNPs and ~2,000 depending on your
     version.
