Scalable in-memory processing of omics workflows
COMPUTATIONAL AND STRUCTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL(2022)
摘要
We present a proof of concept implementation of the in-memory computing paradigm that we use to facilitate the analysis of metagenomic sequencing reads. In doing so we compare the performance of POSIXTMfile systems and key-value storage for omics data, and we show the potential for integrating high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud native technologies. We show that in-memory key value storage offers possibilities for improved handling of omics data through more flexible and faster data processing. We envision fully containerized workflows and their deployment in portable micro pipelines with multiple instances working concurrently with the same distributed in-memory storage. To highlight the potential usage of this technology for event driven and real-time data processing, we use a biological case study focused on the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We develop a workflow encompassing bioinformatics and explainable machine learning (ML) to predict life expectancy of a population based on the microbiome of its sewage while providing a description of AMR contribution to the prediction. We propose that in future, performing such analyses in 'real-time' would allow us to assess the potential risk to the population based on changes in the AMR profile of the community.
