ArkOS 0.13: Variants and Samples

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We’ve just released ArkOS 0.13.1, along with a large set of associated tooling. For the observant among you, we skipped 0.13.0. It was signed, but a last-minute API change made us pull it.

ArkOS 0.13.1 is a significant feature release. It ships support for the structural and copy number genomic variant files; extends the biofs API surface and example apps with new types of genomic queries. Comes with tools that can seed an Ark with any of 3,202 sample genomes for testing.
