When Survival Is Only the Beginning
By Mia Knezevic and Maureen Stanton A generation ago, surviving a devastating burn injury was far from certain. Advances in emergency medicine, critical care, and reconstructive surgery have transformed that reality, allowing people with even the most severe burns to survive injuries that once would have been fatal.

Can databases scale scientific analyses beyond RAM? I’m excited to share dbverse, a composable database framework built to do just that. Across benchmarks, dbverse delivers ~1000x speedups and scales #spatialomics analyses to millions of cells. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/🧵

dbverse scales spatial omics analysis with embedded analytical databases
Spatial omics datasets are increasing in size and complexity, exceeding the memory of standard computers and thereby limiting data analysis. Here we present dbverse, a framework for larger-than memory...
