GIGGLE: a search engine for large-scale integrated genome analysis

Nat Methods. 2018 Feb;15(2):123-126. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.4556. Epub 2018 Jan 8.

Abstract

GIGGLE is a genomics search engine that identifies and ranks the significance of genomic loci shared between query features and thousands of genome interval files. GIGGLE (https://github.com/ryanlayer/giggle) scales to billions of intervals and is over three orders of magnitude faster than existing methods. Its speed extends the accessibility and utility of resources such as ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics, and GTEx by facilitating data integration and hypothesis generation.
