Ram Sriharsha, a Product Manager at Databricks, and Frank Austin Nothaft, a masters of Science in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, discuss how next generation sequencing is becoming cheaper and more accessible. The volume of data sequenced is increasing faster than Moore’s Law. However, it is still expensive and slow to go from raw reads to variant calls, and to produce annotated variants that can then be analyzed downstream. In this talk, we will discuss the first state of the art, scalable and simple DNA sequencing workflow that is built on top of Apache Spark and the Databricks APIs. The pipeline is simple to set up, is easy to scale out, and can sequence a 30x coverage genome cost efficiently on the cloud.
