| Class | Data Declaration command |
| Name | read plink |
| Arguments | <file name prefix> compress |
Reads a PLINK .bed and ancillary files: <prefix>.bim, <prefix>.fam and <prefix>.bed. The "run" statement is bypassed, so this command reads in locus and pedigree data immediately. Minimal checking is done for pedigree and Mendelian errors. If the compress modifier is present, then the genotype data is stored in a 4 bits per genotype format internally.
The ASCII format PLINK .ped file can be read using the usual read pedigree command.
Example:
read plink test
