What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you store, query, and export large genomic variant datasets efficiently, avoiding slow merges and cumbersome file-based workflows when working with many samples or repeated region-level analyses.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scalable ingestion: Load single-sample VCF or BCF files into a TileDB-backed dataset and add new samples incrementally.
- Fast region queries: Retrieve variants by chromosome region, sample list, or selected attributes for cohort analysis and downstream filtering.
- Interoperable export: Export subsets back to VCF, BCF, or tabular outputs for sharing, QC, and integration with other genomics tools.
- Use case: A researcher can build a population genomics dataset, query variants across specific loci for a subset of samples, and export the results for association testing.
Quick Start
Use this Skill to ingest your variant files into a TileDB-VCF dataset, query the regions you care about, and export the resulting subset for analysis.
