asherkhb/plink repository overview

⁠Plink in Docker

⁠Description

A docker container containing PLINK 1.9 (http://www.cog-genomics.org/plink2⁠) for various types of genetic analyses.

⁠Basic Usage

There are two general ways to use this image, interactively and passively. The WORKDIR here is /, so structure your commands accordingly if using passive mode. Also, to make this actually useful you'll likely want to mount a volume to store and save results. See Docker's documentation for help on this.

⁠Interactive Usage

docker run --rm -it docker-plink

⁠Passive Usage

docker run --rm -it docker-plink plink <opts>
