Description: This package provides a high-level R interface to
CoreArray Genomic Data Structure (GDS) data files, which are
portable across platforms with hierarchical structure to
store multiple scalable array-oriented data sets with metadata
information. It is suited for large-scale datasets, especially
for data which are much larger than the available random-access
memory. The gdsfmt package offers the efficient operations
specifically designed for integers of less than 8 bits, since
a single genetic/genomic variant, like single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP), usually occupies fewer bits than a byte.
Data compression and decompression are available with relatively
efficient random access. It is also allowed to read a GDS
file in parallel with multiple R processes supported by the
package parallel.
