A Walk Through Big Data Genomics Data Types

You can view this notebook online via iPython's nbviewer here. (Note, for some reason raw text fields lose formatting when viewed this way: downloading and locally running this notebook makes viewing those fields easier.)

This iPython notebook is meant to introduce you to the various datatypes used with the ADAM stack to process next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.

To get up and running, simply start the iPython notebook in this directory with ipython notebook and open the notebook.

ADAM uses Avro to specify its datatypes, and thus you must have the avro Python package installed in order to run this tutorial. The easiest way to do this is with pip install avro.
