# DelayedArray backends for TileDB |Build|Status| |-----|----| | Bioc-release | [](http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/release/bioc-LATEST/TileDBArray) | | Bioc-devel | [](http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/TileDBArray) | This package implements [**DelayedArray**](https://github.com/Bioconductor/DelayedArray) backend for [TileDB](https://tiledb.com/) to read, write and store dense and sparse arrays. The resulting `TileDBArray` objects are directly compatible with any Bioconductor package that accepts `DelayedArray` objects, serving as a swap-in replacement for the predominant [`HDF5Array`](https://github.com/Bioconductor/HDF5Array) that is currently used throughout the Bioconductor ecosystem for representing large datasets. See the [official Bioconductor landing page](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/TileDBArray.html) for more details.
