Transcript

1. Introduction to The AnVIL AnVIL
2. Goals of The AnVIL
3. AnVIL: Inverting the model of genomic data sharing Traditional: Bring data to the researcher - Copying/moving data is costly - Harder to enforce security - Redundant infrastructure - Siloed compute Goal: Bring researcher to the data - Reduced redundancy and costs - Active threat detection and auditing - Greater accessibility - Elastic, shared, compute
4. What is the AnVIL? - Scalable and interoperable resource for the genomic scientific community - Cloud-based infrastructure - Shared analysis and computing environment - Support genomic data access, sharing and computing across large genomic, and genomic related, data sets - Genomic datasets, phenotypes and metadata - Large datasets generated by NHGRI programs, as well as other initiatives / agencies - Data access controls and data security - Collaborative environment for datasets and analysis workflows - ...for both users with limited computational expertise and sophisticated data scientist users
5. Goals of the AnVIL 1. Create open source software Storage, scalable analytics, data visualization 2. Organize and host key NHGRI datasets CCDG, CMG, eMERGE, and more 3. Operate services for the world Security, training & outreach, new models of data access
6. Software Components
7. AnVIL / Terra: analysis workspaces and batch workflows AnVIL / Gen3: Data models, indexing, querying AnVIL / Dockstore: sharing containerized tools and workflows AnVIL / Analysis Environments: Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, Galaxy, ...
8. AnVIL / Terra: analysis workspaces and batch workflows AnVIL / Gen3: Data models, indexing, querying AnVIL / Analysis Environments: Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, Galaxy, ... FISMA Moderate 2 ATOs Pursuing FedRAMP All data use and analysis in a FISMA moderate environment Implemented on Primary data storage costs covered by AnVIL, user private data and compute billed directly through Google
9. Approach to enabling analysis - Goal is to integrate a wide variety of analysis tools and analysis environments to support different types of users and communities - Built for extensibility, users will be able to bring new tools and analysis applications to the platform - Initial launch has been focused on more expert users, supporting batch workflows and Python programming - Additional environments and visualization tools will continue to be integrated throughout 2019/2020
10. Terra: Batch Workflows
11. Terra: Batch Workflows
12. Terra: Jupyter Notebooks
13. Dockstore: registry of tools and workflows - Tools – a container with metadata that documents the tools interface - 18 WDL and 192 CWL tools currently - Workflows – a combination of multiple tools - 104 WDL and 139 CWL currently
15. Bioconductor + RStudio - Bioconductor: tools and modules for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data, implemented in R - RStudio: analysis environment specifically designed for, and largely preferred by the R community. - 1,741 software packages available in Bioconductor release 3.9 - AnVIL will provide a robust well tested RStudio environment with the latest Bioconductor release integrated
16. Galaxy - Web-based analysis environment for running analysis tools and building workflows for users with no programming expertise - Galaxy ToolShed, a repository for community contributed tools and workflows, has 6,894 tools - Additionally, Galaxy integrates dozens of visualization tools which will also be available in AnVIL.
17. Extending AnVIL - Bring your own tools and workflows - Either by registering them in Dockstore, or by uploading your own custom WDL to Terra - Build on top of the AnVIL APIs - All of the components of the AnVIL provide APIs - We will be providing a unified, stable API endpoint for the AnVIL with OpenAPI documentation - We are building API wrapper libraries in Python and R, largely generate from the OpenAPI specification but curated - Adding new web applications - We are defining standards to allow a containerized web application to be hosted inside AnVIL - Leveraging standards container orchestration (Kubernetes) for complex applications
18. Data Management
19. Three areas of focus 1. Ingestion and Processing of Genomic Data Align, variant-call, and QC read-level data with best-practices pipelines 2. Ingestion and Processing of Phenotypic Data QC phenotypes and map to standardized data models 3. Data Access and Data Use Oversight Create more streamlined mechanisms to access the data For all three, governance is crucial!
20. Working Groups 1. Data Processing Working Group Select best-practices pipelines, and define QC metrics for read-level data 2. Phenotype Working Group Select data models to map phenotypic data to, and oversee process 3. Data Access Working Group Map data use restrictions to ontologies, and create a data “passport” We welcome your involvement!
21. Data Roadmap 1. By end of 2019 - GSP: Center for Complex Disease Genomics (CCDG) and Center for Mendelian Genomics (CMG). Both will require updates beyond 2019 - GTEx v8 - High coverage 1kG - eMERGE 2. By end of 2020 - eMERGE - Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research - Undiagnosed Diseases Network
22. Operations
23. AnVIL is Live as of July 2019! anvil.terra.bio
24. Areas of Focus 1. Security & Compliance Ensure that all applications in the AnVIL ecosystem are secure & compliant 2. Data Access Can we use new models of data governance that accelerate access to data? 3. Training and Outreach Engage researchers around the world and train them to use the AnVIL
25. Security We assume that all software that touches controlled-access data is NIST-800-53 compliant. 1) Extensive Disaster Recovery 2) Rigorous security program (personnel, process) 3) Continuous monitoring and auditing 4) Threat Assessment 5) Security-centric software development (code reviews, SDLC, etc)

27. DUOS Our current protocol for data access Data Depositors Data Use Limitations This data is available for cancer research in a non-profit setting. Data Access Committee No! Data Access Request Data Requestors I am studying breast cancer at a company.
28. DUOS Scales Poorly!! O(N2) dbGaP at PRIM&R 2017 826 = Number of studies in dbGaP 5,344 = Number of PIs requesting data 46 = Number of PI countries 1500+ = Number of publications resulting from secondary use of dbGaP data 13 days = Average Data Access Request processing time As of July 1, 2017 50,167 Submitted 34,16 Approved Model for this is dbGaP (database of Genotypes and Phenotypes), which was started by NIH over a decade ago. In general, all NHGRI-funded genotyping studies are required to be deposited in this database.
29. What is DUOS? • Interfaces to transform data use restrictions and data access requests to machine-readable code (ADA-M & Consent Codes) • A matching algorithm that checks if data access requests are compatible with data use restrictions • Interfaces for the Data Access Committee to adjudicate whether structuring and matching has been done appropriately DUOS
30. DUOS Trial We aimed to answer the following questions: Can we... Translate a data use letter to structured data use limitations? Translate a research use statement to a structured research purpose? Evaluate these structured terms with an algorithm to make the same decision a human DAC would make when reviewing a DAR ?
31. DUOS Trial We aimed to answer the following questions: Can we... • Results: 118/123 Data Use Letters able to be translated to structured data use limitations (96%) • Examples of Data Use Letter text unable to be structured: • Aggregate level data for general research use is prohibited • Available for research on smoking • Data must be held behind a firewall so it is only available to qualified scientists and healthcare professionals • No data may be used from participants who consented before 8/7/2001
32. DUOS Trial We aimed to answer the following questions: Can we... • Results: 38/38 of researchers’ submitted research use statements were correctly translated (100%) • The human DAC & DUOS algorithm agreed on 37/37 of data access request evaluations (100%) • >95% of DAR decisions were able to be adjudicated by the algorithm
