GenomicsDB

Advancing clinical cohort selection with genomics analysis on a distributed platform. Highly performant data storage in C++ for importing, querying and transforming variant data with Java/Spark. Used in gatk4. Sparse Array Storage for Genomics. GenomicsDB, originally from Intel Health and Lifesciences, is built on top of a fork of htslib and a tile-based array storage system for importing, querying and transforming variant data. Open source project providing a collaboration to optimizing sparse array storage for genomics. Using high-level APIs provided in C++, Java*, and Spark*, users can both write and read variant records to and from GenomicsDB shared-nothing instances in parallel using multiple processes in a Single Process Multiple Data (SPMD) manner.
