bedrockbio: Open-Access Computational Biology Datasets

Efficiently access the 'Bedrock Bio' library of open-access computational biology datasets. Lazily query datasets backed by 'DuckDB' and 'Apache Iceberg', with support for predicate pushdown and column projection to the cloud storage backend. This enables quick, iterative access to otherwise massive, unwieldy datasets without downloading them in full. See <https://bedrock.bio> for available datasets and documentation.
