DuckDBSpatial

DuckDB-Backed Spatial Data Structures

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 0.99.7

Provides DuckDB-backed implementations of spatial data structures for efficient out-of-memory operations on large spatial datasets. The package includes 68 sf-compatible spatial methods (st_intersects, st_contains, st_within, etc.) and GeoParquet 1.0 I/O support via writeGeoParquet(). Ideal for spatial analysis, genomic interval analysis, and integration with BiocDuckDB for MultiAssaySpatialExperiment workflows requiring memory-efficient operations on large datasets.
