gemini's Introduction

GEMINI - integrative exploration of genetic variation and genome annotations.

Overview

The intent of GEMINI (GEnome MINIing) is to provide a simple, flexible, and powerful framework for exploring genetic variation for personal and medical genetics. GEMINI is unique in that it integrated genetic variation (from VCF files) with a wealth of genome annotations into a unified database framework. Using this integrated database as the analysis framework, we aim to leverage the expressive power of SQL for data analysis, while attempting to overcome the fundamental challenges associated with using databases for very large (e.g. 1,000,000 variants times 1,000 samples yields one billion genotypes) datasets.

Acknowledgements

GEMINI is being developed in the Quinlan lab (quinlanlab.org) at the University of Virginia and is led by Uma Paila and Aaron Quinlan. Substantial contributions to the code base have also been made by Brad Chapman (@chapmanb) and Rory Kirchner (@roryk) at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Installation

Install GEMINI using the automated installation script, gemini_install.py. This script installs GEMINI along with required python libraries, third party tools and data files used for variant annotation. The installation documentation contains additional details on installed files and tools.
