Hail is a scalable framework for massive data analysis. It's written in Scala and built on Spark and the Hadoop ecosystem.
I'm a software engineer/mathematician, but we're embedded in a world-class genetics research lab. The first paper using Hail was put out recently:
http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/06/06/050195 http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/06/06/050195
with more in the pipeline. Hail is being used to analyze some of the largest genetic datasets out there (hundreds of thousands of exomes and tens of thousands of whole genomes). There's tons to do. Jump in or email me (see my profile) if you'd like to get involved. If you tell me what you're interested in, I will try to tailor a task for you. No bio knowledge needed.
