I feel like if you are working with genome levels of data maybe you shouldn't be using JS to do the work. JS is a great tool in some cases but not really a scientific one. I guess you use whatever you know.

(Not being sarcastic at all) I remember the times when bringing JavaScript anywhere near data analysis would be considered a cute joke.

Use what you're comfortable with if it'll do the job. In this case turns out it won't, but it was perfectly plausible it might've.

The problem, of course, is when you've worked on the assumption that it will do the job (hey, it was perfectly plausible!) and after a six months' work you run into a showstopper like this.
