Package: VariantExperiment Title: A RangedSummarizedExperiment Container for VCF/GDS Data with GDS Backend Version: 1.17.0 Authors@R: c( person( "Qian", "Liu", email = "Qian.Liu@roswellpark.org", role=c("aut", "cre") ), person("Hervé", "Pagès", role = "aut"), person("Martin", "Morgan", role = "aut")) Description: VariantExperiment is a Bioconductor package for saving data in VCF/GDS format into RangedSummarizedExperiment object. The high-throughput genetic/genomic data are saved in GDSArray objects. The annotation data for features/samples are saved in DelayedDataFrame format with mono-dimensional GDSArray in each column. The on-disk representation of both assay data and annotation data achieves on-disk reading and processing and saves memory space significantly. The interface of RangedSummarizedExperiment data format enables easy and common manipulations for high-throughput genetic/genomic data with common SummarizedExperiment metaphor in R and Bioconductor. biocViews: Infrastructure, DataRepresentation, Sequencing, Annotation, GenomeAnnotation, GenotypingArray Depends: R (>= 3.6.0), S4Vectors (>= 0.21.24), SummarizedExperiment (>= 1.13.0), GenomicRanges, License: GPL-3 Encoding: UTF-8 URL: https://github.com/Bioconductor/VariantExperiment BugReports: https://github.com/Bioconductor/VariantExperiment/issues Imports: GDSArray (>= 1.11.1), DelayedDataFrame (>= 1.6.0), tools, utils, stats, methods, gdsfmt, SNPRelate, SeqArray, DelayedArray, Biostrings, IRanges RoxygenNote: 7.2.3 Suggests: testthat, knitr, rmarkdown, markdown, BiocStyle VignetteBuilder: knitr
