The Architecture of Biology

As multi-omics studies scale, data engineering becomes the primary bottleneck preventing biological discovery. The SummarizedExperiment object is the gold standard for storing genomic assays in R.

This post details how we can take patterns from microservice orchestration—specifically immutability, stream processing, and event-driven data pipelines—and apply them to bioinformatics.
