Genomedata

Genomedata is a format for efficient storage of multiple tracks of numeric data anchored to a genome. The format allows fast random access to hundreds of gigabytes of data, while retaining a small disk space footprint. We have also developed utilities to load data into this format. A reference implementation in Python and C components is available here under the GNU General Public License.
To install Genomedata, you must have HDF5 and Python 3.9 (or later) installed on your system. Genomedata can then be installed using the following command on your Linux/Unix based system*:
For more detailed instructions on how to install Genomedata, see the documentation linked below.
Genomedata is briefly described in the Bioinformatics application note cited and linked at the top of this page.
The application's documentation is available in three formats:
Reference assemblies can be downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information FTP site. On the FTP Site, there is the current human reference genome assembly, hg38.
There is a moderated genomedata-announce mailing list that you can subscribe to for information on new releases of Genomedata.
There is also a genomedata-users mailing list for general discussion and questions about the use of the Genomedata system.
If you want to report a bug or request a feature, please do so using the Genomedata issue tracker.
For other support with Genomedata, or to provide feedback, please e-mail Michael. We are interested in all comments regarding the package and the ease of use of installation and documentation.
