Abstract:
Many established processing and analysis tools in life sciences are still operating on files, e.g. alignment of genome data. Their integration into optimized workflows requires time-consuming transformation, import and export of data. In the given contribution, we introduce IMDBfs: a shared file system operating on top of an in-memory database system. Our IMDBfs provides transparent access to database resources via traditional file system operations. For the first time, it allows seamless integration of file-based life science tools into processes optimized for latest IMDB technology. As a result, existing tools neither need to be ported nor modified whilst transparent IMDB data access is provided.
