+**What it does**
+
+Gemini amend adds information about the samples via PED file.
+
+If you have a sample table in a Gemini db that looks like this::
+
+ sample_id   family_id   name      paternal_id   maternal_id   sex   phenotype   hair_color   
+ 1           1           M10475    0             0             1     1           brown        
+ 2           1           M10478    M10475        M10500        2     2           blonde       
+ 3           1           M10500    0             0             2     2           purple       
+
+and you want the change the haircolor of sample 3. And also add some information about the preferred hobbies of some samples.
+
+You could specify the following PED file. ::
+
+ #family_id  name    paternal_id  maternal_id  sex  phenotype  hair_color  hobby
+ 1           M10475  None         None         1    1          brown       fishing
+ 1           M10478  M10475       M10500       2    2          red         biking
+ 1           M10500  None         None         2    2          purple 
+
+this results in::
+
+ sample_id   family_id   name      paternal_id   maternal_id   sex   phenotype   hair_color   hobby     
+ 1           1           M10475    0             0             1     1           brown        fishing   
+ 2           1           M10478    M10475        M10500        2     2           red          biking    
+ 3           1           M10500    0             0             2     2           purple       .
