TY - JOUR AU - Rolfe, P. Alexander AU - Gifford, David K. PY - 2011 DA - 2011/07/07 TI - ReadDB Provides Efficient Storage for Mapped Short Reads JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - 278 VL - 12 IS - 1 AB - The advent of high-throughput sequencing has enabled sequencing based measurements of cellular function, with an individual measurement potentially consisting of more than 108 reads. While tools are available for aligning sets of reads to genomes and interpreting the results, fewer tools have been developed to address the storage and retrieval requirements of large collections of aligned datasets. We present ReadDB, a network accessible column store database system for aligned high-throughput read datasets.
