Package: VariantExperiment Title: A RangedSummarizedExperiment Container for VCF/GDS Data with GDS Backend Version: 1.27.0 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: 7.3.1 Suggests: testthat, knitr, rmarkdown, markdown, BiocStyle VignetteBuilder: knitr Config/pak/sysreqs: zlib1g-dev Repository: https://bioc.r-universe.dev Date/Publication: 2026-04-28 12:50:44 UTC RemoteUrl: https://github.com/bioc/VariantExperiment RemoteRef: HEAD RemoteSha: b4d16125f1e323ba39bca1ad23aec1cfd2f7cda2 NeedsCompilation: no Packaged: 2026-07-04 05:11:55 UTC; root Author: Qian Liu [aut, cre], Hervé Pagès [aut], Martin Morgan [aut] Maintainer: Qian Liu
