Graph DB + Bioinformatics: Bio4j, recent applications and future directions by Pablo Pareja.
If you haven’t seen one of Pablo’s slide decks on Bio4j, get ready for a real treat!
Let me quote the numbers from slide 42, which is entitled: “Bio4j + MG7 + 24 Chip-Seq samples”
157 639 502 nodes
742 615 705 relationships
632 832 045 properties
149 relationship types
44 node types
And it works just fine!
Granting he is not running this on his cellphone but if you are going to process serious data, you need serious computing power. (OK, he uses Amazon Web Services. Like I said, not his cellphone.)
Did I mention everything done by Oh no sequences! (www.ohnosequences.com) is 100% Open source?
There is much to learn here. Enjoy!
