Scale with Hail: Genomic Analysis in the Biobank Era
Hail (http://hail.is) is a free, open-source, general-purpose, Python-based data analysis tool with additional data types and methods for working with genomic data. Unlike the Python and R scientific computing stacks, Hail:
- scales from laptop to large compute cluster or cloud, with the same code
- is designed to work with datasets that do not fit in memory
- has first-class support for multi-dimensional structured data, like genomic data
