Cloud computing technologies have made it possible to analyze big data sets in scalable and cost-effective ways. DNA sequence analysis, where very large data sets are now generated at reduced cost using the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods, is an area which can greatly benefit from cloud-based infrastructures. Although existing solutions show nearly linear scalability, they pose significant limitations in terms of data transfer latencies and cloud storage costs. In this paper, we propose to tackle the performance problems that arise from having to transfer large amounts of data between clients and the cloud based on a streaming data management architecture. Our approach provides an incremental data processing model which can hide data transfer latencies while maintaining linear scalability. We present an initial implementation and evaluation of this approach for SHRiMP, a well-known software package for NGS read alignment, based on the IBM InfoSphere Streams computing platform deployed on Amazon EC2.
