SEAL

a suite of distributed software for HT sequencing

Challenge

The rapid advancement of DNA and RNA sequencing technologies generates an exponential increase in the data stream to be processed by sequencing centers. However, computer processing, storage and network capacity does not grow proportionally. The difference in growth rates of the two technologies requires the adoption of distributed computing techniques to be able to scale the data processing operations with the growth of the sequencing operations that produce them.

Overview

Seal is a suite of applications for processing of sequencing data that stands out for its scalability, allowing to expand the processing capacity by simply increasing the number of computers available while maintaining low operating costs. Seal applications, in fact, work in a distributed manner based on the Hadoop framework, applying to the DNA analysis the same IT principles that allow to Google, Facebook and eBay to process huge volumes of data. Seal currently consists of four main applications that allow you to: perform read demultiplexing; align the read to a reference genome; identify duplicate PCR; order the reads; recalibrate empirically the quality of sequenced bases.

Innovative traits

  • highly scalable according to the number of computing nodes and the size of the input data;

  • resilient to transient problems of the computer center, thanks to the Hadoop framework on which it is based;

  • easy monitoring via Web of processing and activities in progress.

Potential users

Researchers bioinformatics, sequencing centers professionals.

Impact sectors

Research centers - Universities - hospitals - Biotechnology industry.
