ADAM is a library and command line tool that enables the use of Apache
Spark to parallelize genomic data analysis across cluster/cloud
computing environments. ADAM uses a set of schemas to describe genomic
sequences, reads, variants/genotypes, and features, and can be used with
data in legacy genomic file formats such as SAM/BAM/CRAM, BED/GFF3/GTF,
and VCF, as well as data stored in the columnar Apache Parquet format.
