Dear all, I'm writing in hopes of recruiting an R/Bioconductor co-maintainer for Genomics Extension for SQLite <https://github.com/mlin/GenomicSQLite>, which adds several key features to SQLite useful for bioinformatics data management; for example:
- streaming read/write compression layer - querying compressed databases directly via web/cloud URLs - Genomic Range Index for interval overlap queries - in-SQL helper functions for manipulating sequences & identifiers I think this could eventually find use in many Bioconductor features, but as a first step, we need the essential bindings package to load the extension alongside RSQLite. I'm hoping somebody here might find the project promising enough to chip into, as I don't get to use R much in my own day-to-day anymore. The documentation site includes a section on writing language bindings <https://mlin.github.io/GenomicSQLite/bindings/> that roadmaps the necessary work, which I'd also be happy to work closely together on it. Longer term, there are many possible applications to explore, and I also anticipate presenting the work in suitable forums which I'd be happy to share in. Please contact me if interested, on this github discussion <https://github.com/mlin/GenomicSQLite/discussions/17>, by email d...@mlin.net, or this thread. Alternatively, any feedback/ideas about how to make the project useful are most welcome! Thanks, Mike Lin <https://www.mlin.net> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
