BioHDF on the Web

During the past spring and early part of summer, we presented our initial work using HDF5 technology to make next generation DNA sequencing data management scalable. The presentations are posted on web, along with other points of interest that are listed below.

Presentations:
Presentations by Mark Welsh, and myself can be found at SciVee.
Mark presents our poster at ISMB , and I present our work at the “Sequencing, Finishing and Analysis in the Future Meeting,” in Santa Fe.

We also presented at this and last year’s BOSC meetings that were held at ISMB. The abstracts and slides can be found at:

What others are thinking:
Real time commentary on the 2009 BOSC presentation can be found at friendfeed and another post. The Fisheye Perspective considers how HDF5 fits with semantic web tools.

HDF in Bioinformatics:
Check out Fast5 for using HDF5 to store sequences and base probablities.
