Population genomics projects rely on fragmented file-based workflows that lose provenance and require full reprocessing when samples are added. Graph-Mana stores variant data in a graph database as packed genotype arrays with pre-computed population statistics, enabling incremental sample addition, provenance tracking, cohort management, and export to 17 formats. Two access paths serve different needs: a FAST PATH reading population-level arrays in O(K) time and a FULL PATH unpacking per-sample genotypes in O(N) time. On human 1000 Genomes data (3,202 samples, 70.7M variants), Graph-Mana completed a 46-operation lifecycle in 98 minutes from a single persistent database.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
