Abstract

Background: Since the introduction of next-generation DNA sequencers the rapid increase in sequencer throughput, and associated drop in costs, has resulted in more than a dozen human genomes being resequenced over the last few years. These efforts are merely a prelude for a future in which genome resequencing will be commonplace for both biomedical research and clinical applications. The dramatic increase in sequencer output strains all facets of computational infrastructure, especially databases and query interfaces. The advent of cloud computing, and a variety of powerful tools designed to process petascale datasets, provide a compelling solution to these ever increasing demands.

Results:' In this work, we present the SeqWare Query Engine which has been created using modern cloud computing technologies and designed to support databasing information from thousands of genomes. Our backend implementation was built using the highly scalable, NoSQL HBase database from the Hadoop project. We also created a web-based frontend that provides both a programmatic and interactive query interface and integrates with widely used genome browsers and tools. Using the query engine, users can load and query variants (SNVs, indels, translocations, etc) with a rich level of annotations including coverage and functional consequences. As a proof of concept we loaded several whole genome datasets including the U87MG cell line. We also used a glioblastoma multiforme tumor/normal pair to both profile performance and provide an example of using the Hadoop MapReduce framework within the query engine. This software is open source and freely available from the SeqWare project (https://github.com/SeqWare).

Conclusions: The SeqWare Query Engine provided an easy way to make the U87MG genome accessible to programmers and non-programmers alike. This enabled a faster and more open exploration of results, quicker tuning of parameters for heuristic variant calling filters, and a common data interface to simplify development of analytical tools. The range of data types supported, the ease of querying and integrating with existing tools, and the robust scalability of the underlying cloud-based technologies make SeqWare Query Engine a nature fit for storing and searching ever-growing genome sequence datasets.

Background

Recent advances in sequencing technologies have led to a greatly reduced cost and increased throughput.[1] The dramatic reductions in both time and financial costs have shaped the experiments scientists are able to perform and have opened up the possibility of whole human genome resequencing becoming commonplace. Currently over a dozen human genomes have been completed, most using one of the short read, high-throughput technologies that are responsible for this growth in sequencing.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The datatypes produced by these projects are varied, but most report single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions/deletions (indels, typically <10 bases), structural variants (SVs), and may include additional information such as haplotype phasing and novel sequence assemblies. Paired tumor/normal samples can additionally be used to identify somatic mutation events by filtering for those variants present in the tumor but not the normal.

Full genome sequencing, while increasingly common, is just one of many experimental designs that are currently used with this generation of sequencing platforms. Targeted resequencing, whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq), and bisulfite sequencing for methylation detection are examples of other important analysis types that require large scale databasing capabilities. Efforts such as the 1000 Genomes project (http://www.1000genomes.org), the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA, http://cancergenome.nih.gov), and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (http://www.icgc.org) are each generating a wide variety of such data across hundreds to thousands of samples. The diversity and number of sequencing datasets already produced, in production, or being planned present huge infrastructure challenges for the research community.

Primary data, if available, are typically huge, difficult to transfer over public networks, and cumbersome to analyze without significant local computational infrastructure. These include large compute clusters, extensive data storage facilities, dedicated system administrators, and bioinformaticians adept at low-level programming. Highly annotated datasets, such as finished variant calls, are more commonly available, particularly for human datasets. These present a more compact representation of the most salient information, but are typically only available as flat text files in a variety of quasi-standard file formats that require reformatting and processing. This effort is substantial, particularly as the number of datasets grow, and, as a result, is typically undertaken by a small number of researchers that have a personal stake in the data rather than being more widely and easily accessible. In many cases, essential source information has been eliminated for the sake of data reduction, making recalculation impossible.

Properly databasing this information enables both a common underlying data structure and a search interface to support powerful data mining of sequence-derived information.

To date most biological database projects have focused on the storage of heavily annotated model organism reference sequences. For example, efforts such as the UCSC genome databases[17], the Generic Model Organism Database’s Chado schema[18], and the Ensembl database[19] all solve the problem of storing reference genome annotations in a complete and comprehensive way. The focus for these databases is the proper representation of biological data types and genome annotations, but not storing many thousands of genomes worth of variants relative to a given reference. While many biological database schemas currently in wide use could support tens or even hundreds of genomes worth of variant calls, ultimately these systems are limited by the resources of a single database instance. Since they focus on relatively modest amounts of annotation storage, loading hundreds of genomes worth of multi-terabyte sequencing coverage information, for example, would likely overwhelm these traditional database approaches. Yet the appeal of databasing next generation sequence data is clear since it would simplify tool development and allow for useful queries across samples and projects.
