It be installed using pip:

pip install pandas-plink

Alternatively it can be intalled via conda:

conda install -c conda-forge pandas-plink

Usage

It is as simple as

from pandas_plink import read_plink
(bim, fam, G) = read_plink('/path/to/files_prefix')

for which files_prefix.bed, files_prefix.bim, and files_prefix.fam contain the data. Portions of the genotype will be read as the user access them. Please, refer to the documentation for more information.
