Description

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. Retrieving data from this format is more than 2900 times faster than a naive approach using wiggle files.
