# Ensembl Variations (Parquet Format)

This dataset contains Ensembl human genetic variations converted to Parquet format for fast and efficient VCF annotation.

## Dataset Description

- **Purpose**: Fast annotation of VCF files with Ensembl variation data
- **Format**: Apache Parquet (columnar storage)
- **Source**: [Ensembl Variation Database](https://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/variation/)
- **Updated: 2026-01-15**
- **Total Files**: 25
- **Total Size**: ~13.7 GB


## Usage

### With Polars (Recommended)

```python
import polars as pl

# Load variants for chromosome 21
df = pl.scan_parquet("hf://datasets/just-dna-seq/ensembl_variations/data/homo_sapiens-chr21.parquet")

# Filter variants by position
variants = df.filter(
    (pl.col("POS") >= 10000000) & (pl.col("POS") <= 20000000)
).collect()

print(variants)
```
