This $237,500 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to Northeastern University aims to develop new indexing tools that will enable real-time, scalable sequence search across the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) - a vast repository of genomic data. The project has three main objectives: 1) Extending the previously developed Mantis index to efficiently index abundance, positions, and experiment metadata while maintaining performance and scalability, 2) Creating a dynamic, distributed version of Mantis to scale and incrementally index new SRA experiments, enabling real-time queries, and 3) Developing an easy-to-use API for command-line and web-based access to enable rapid biological analyses over the SRA. This project seeks to empower researchers to conduct large-scale analyses with flexible, user-friendly tools and improve biological analysis algorithms to keep pace with the growth of modern genomic data.
