1. A system for executing a sequence analysis pipeline on genetic sequence data, the system comprising:
an electronic data source that provides digital signals representing a plurality of reads of genomic data, each of the plurality of reads of genomic data comprising a sequence of nucleotides; a memory storing one or more genetic reference sequences and an index of the one or more genetic reference sequences; and a structured application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) formed of a set of mask-programmable, hardwired digital logic circuits that are interconnected by a plurality of physical electrical interconnects, one or more of the plurality of physical electrical interconnects comprising an input to the structured ASIC connected with the electronic data source for receiving the plurality of reads of genomic data, one or more of the plurality of physical electrical interconnects further comprising a memory interface for the structured ASIC to access the memory, the hardwired digital logic circuits being arranged as a set of processing engines, each processing engine being formed of a subset of the hardwired digital logic circuits to perform one or more steps in the sequence analysis pipeline on the plurality of reads of genomic data, each subset of the hardwired digital logic circuits being in a wired configuration to perform the one or more steps in the sequence analysis pipeline, the wired configuration being non-volatile and established upon manufacture of the structured ASIC, the set of processing engines comprising:
a mapping module in the wired configuration to access, according to at least some of the sequence of nucleotides in a read of the plurality of reads, the index of the one or more genetic reference sequences from the memory via the memory interface to map the read to one or more segments of the one or more genetic reference sequences based on the index; andan alignment module in the wired configuration to access the one or more genetic reference sequences from the memory via the memory interface to align the read to one or more positions in the one or more segments of the one or more genetic reference sequences from the mapping module; andone or more of the plurality of physical electrical interconnects comprising an output from the structured ASIC for communicating result data from the mapping module and/or the alignment module. |
