US 2026/0086981 A1 · DYNAMIC STORAGE OF SEQUENCING DATA FILES

Abstract

Apparatus and method of managing genomic sequencing data. In an embodiment, a data management controller is communicatively coupled to an external data repository over a communication network. The data management controller is configured to detect a first event triggering initial analysis on raw sequence data encoded in a standard file format and stored in the external data repository. The data management controller is configured to launch one or more analysis tools to perform the initial analysis on the raw sequence data stored in the external data repository, and to output initial analysis results. The data management controller is configured to determine whether the initial analysis results pass quality control, and control electronic storage of the raw sequence data when the initial analysis results pass quality control by storing the raw sequence data in archive storage, and deleting the raw sequence data from the external data repository.

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor and memory, the processor configured to:
perform analysis control to control analysis by one or more analysis tools on sequence data resulting from a sequencing process performed on one or more biological samples;
and
perform storage control to store the sequence data in cloud-based archive storage accessible via a communication network after analysis by the one or more analysis tools, wherein the cloud-based archive storage comprises a class of storage where data is not accessible in real-time, wherein
for the analysis control, the processor is configured to:
detect an event triggering re-analysis of the sequence data, wherein the event comprises a change regarding the one or more analysis tools;
identify a storage location of the sequence data in the cloud-based archive storage;
initiate a restore of the sequence data from the cloud-based archive storage, and wait a threshold time period for the sequence data to be restored from the cloud-based archive storage;
and
launch at least one of the one or more analysis tools to perform re-analysis on the sequence data to generate updated analysis results.
