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

DuckDB-Backed Interface for Large-Scale Genomic Data


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Provides a DuckDB-backed infrastructure for working with large-scale genomic data that exceeds available memory. Supports lazy evaluation of genomic ranges and efficient overlap queries. Integrates with Bioconductor classes (GRanges, BiocIO) and provides plyranges-compatible API.
