What you will learn
In this comprehensive presentation of TileDB’s population genomics solution, TileDB-VCF, you will learn how to:
- Model genomic variants as a 3D sparse array
- Efficiently update variant datasets, solving the N+1 problem
- Ingest huge collections of VCF samples in parallel on TileDB Cloud
- Export to VCF for full compatibility with existing tools
- Share access to TB of variant datasets avoiding file downloads
- Implement scalable genome-wide analyses using serverless compute
- Enable reproducible science and collaboration through code and data sharing
Stavros, the TileDB CEO, will explain the important data management problems with VCF data drawing on his academic and research experiences. He will be joined by guest speaker, Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomics who will share insights about genome-informed inpatient pediatric care. Aaron Wolen, Senior Software Engineer, will walk through code examples and answer your questions.
Prior to attending this webinar, it is highly recommended to review this deep dive into TileDB Embedded webinar on the open-source storage engine that powers TileDB-VCF. We also suggest that you sign-up for TileDB Cloud (you will get $10 of free credits, no credit card needed) if you’d like to run the examples shown in the webinar and get access to public datasets such as the NY Genome Center 1000 Genomes dataset.
