# TileDB-VCF

Keep growing variant collections queryable as samples pile up

## What this does

If you are collecting genetic variant files across a large group of people, the pile gets hard to store and slow to search. This sets up that data in TileDB so it stays compressed, takes new samples as they arrive, and answers queries across many at once. Reach for it when your variant collection keeps growing.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Ingest VCF and BCF files into one store
- Add new samples without rebuilding
- Query many samples in parallel

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About TileDB-VCF

Storage and retrieval for genomic variant data backed by TileDB, aimed at collections that keep growing rather than one-off files.

It covers ingesting VCF and BCF data, adding samples incrementally, keeping storage compressed, running queries in parallel, and exporting results.

The intended setting is population genomics, where the number of samples is the thing that makes the work awkward.

## Questions

### Is TileDB-VCF safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of TileDB-VCF and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ad21a3868923, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/tiledbvcf.

### How do I install TileDB-VCF?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/tiledbvcf on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/tree/ad21a3868923628330734375dddbf7b86ea84222/skills/tiledbvcf. Install from that link, not the branch.
