Since sqlite people are probably in this thread - why is storing genomic data as a sqlite tar with all the metadata you want in tables a “Bad Idea” (tm)? Like toss a fastq or bam plus all the downstream data, grant info, experiment parameters, specimen info etc etc in a single file easily parsable.
