ompBAM

ompBAM provides C++ header files for developers to create R packages that process Binary Alignment Map (BAM) files using OpenMP-based multi-threading.

Key Features:

• Automated File Access: ompBAM automates BAM file access operations for R package development.
• Memory Management: ompBAM handles memory management automatically for BAM file processing.
• Multi-threading Support: ompBAM handles multiple threads using OpenMP 'behind the scenes' for sequential profiling of BAM files.
• API Documentation: The included vignette provides detailed documentation of the API with quick-start instructions for creating new ompBAM-based packages.
• Example Package: ompBAM includes an example package with step-by-step explanation of functionality.

Scientific Applications:

• BAM File Processing: ompBAM enables development of R packages for processing Binary Alignment Map (BAM) files in genomics and sequencing analysis.
• Multi-threaded Sequential Profiling: ompBAM supports sequential profiling of BAM files using parallel processing for improved computational efficiency.

Methodology:

ompBAM uses OpenMP-based multi-threading for sequential profiling of BAM files, with automated file access and memory management handled internally.
