I haven't been on Twitter for a while, and have been enjoying the peace and quiet of Mastodon (@jeromekelleher@mstdn.science). I've returned for a brief bit of self promotion (it's been an eventful couple of weeks!), but am dropping off again 👋
Very happy to announce that the VCF Zarr paper is now published at GigaScience! academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar… See below for a tweetorial based on the preprint.
VCF is in many ways a tremendous success, providing a single channel through which all kinds of genomics data flows, with (mostly) good interoperability. It is a great archival format. However, it is not an efficient basis for computation, particularly at Biobank scale.
Great to see this preprint from @GeorgiaTsambos out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
