To answer the three questions you state: 1. SQLite for huge data sets? Yes, certainly 2. SQLite for genomic data sets? Hard to see why not 3. Conversion/import to SQLite? Yes, this should be trivial (on a scale of "trivial" to "complex" appropriate for handling "huge" data sets). However, the more important question seems to be if having your data in SQL form (SQLite or other) would be useful. Do you know what kinds of SQL queries you would want to run? I've used SQLite for huge social networks data sets and found it very flexible for working with and manipulating my data.
