DuckDBArray

This is the development version of DuckDBArray; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

DuckDB-Backed DelayedArray Implementation


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Provides DuckDB-backed implementations of DelayedArray and DelayedMatrix classes for efficient, out-of-memory operations on large array and matrix datasets. The package includes DuckDBArray, DuckDBArraySeed, and DuckDBMatrix classes with optimized matrixStats methods. Supports sparse arrays, grid partitioning, and parallel processing for scalable genomic data analysis.
