During December 2025, Honicky developed and upgraded the AnnData Extension for the duckdb/community-extensions repository, enhancing DuckDB’s support for single-cell genomics data. He implemented initial read and query capabilities for .h5ad files, enabling users to access cell and gene metadata as well as expression matrices directly through SQL. The extension was further advanced with new SQL functions for deeper data access and improved documentation for usability. Honicky’s work involved C++ development, SQL querying, and careful version control to ensure compatibility with DuckDB 1.4.x, resulting in a robust, well-documented tool for genomics data analysis and database management.
