Merge .bed files from different samples using PLINK
Hi all,
I have 10 separate .bed/.bim/.fam files. These files have the same set of SNPs but from different samples. How can I merge these files into one using PLINK? Seems like PLINK's '--merge' function can only merge files with different SNPs from same samples?
Many thanks!

--merge-list <filename> flag should work, see:
Something like:
plink --merge-list myFile.txt --make-bed --out myMergedOut
Where myFile.txt is:
gwas1.bed gwas1.bim gwas1.fam
gwas2.bed gwas2.bim gwas2.fam
...
or
gwas1
gwas2
...
