Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates efficient analysis of genetic variants in diverse populations, suggesting a scalable tool for precision medicine.

Key Points

The aim is to develop a scalable and reproducible genomic workflow for individualized and population-level analyses using whole genome sequencing data.
Implemented WGS2IBI as a cloud-based modular workflow using Common Workflow Language and Docker.
Conducted benchmarking on the Jackson Heart Study cohort, which included preprocessing of over 102 million variants.
Applied the workflow to real hypertension data from 1,821 unrelated Framingham Heart Study participants.
Preprocessing reduced 102 million variants to 18 million in approximately two hours at a cost of $20.83.
Population-level analyses completed for $0.44 (Global Search) and $11.44 (Fisher’s exact test).
Variants prioritized by IBI showed enrichment for lower minor allele frequency and relevance to blood pressure.
