Description

Add capability to process genome data as a continuous stream, enabling real-time analysis of sequencing data as it is generated.

Use Cases

  • Oxford Nanopore real-time sequencing
  • Large genome analysis without full loading
  • Continuous monitoring of mutations
  • Live visualization during analysis
  • Early detection of significant patterns

Implementation Requirements

Streaming Architecture

  • Implement async stream processing
  • Add buffered window analysis
  • Create event-driven pipeline
  • Support backpressure handling
  • Implement stream multiplexing

Data Sources

  • FASTQ stream reader
  • Network socket support
  • Named pipe integration
  • Kafka/RabbitMQ connectors
  • MinION direct integration

Processing Features

  • Sliding window analysis
  • Incremental statistics
  • Progressive confidence scores
  • Early termination on findings
  • Adaptive window sizing

Real-time Features

  • Live dashboard updates
  • WebSocket notifications
  • Progressive visualizations
  • Alert thresholds
  • Stream recording/replay

Technical Components

  • Tokio async runtime
  • Stream combinators
  • Lock-free data structures
  • Zero-copy processing
  • SIMD optimizations

Performance Targets

  • Latency < 100ms per window
  • Throughput > 1 Mb/s
  • Memory bounded by window size
  • CPU utilization < 80%
  • Support 10+ concurrent streams

Integration Points

  • WebSocket API for live updates
  • Prometheus metrics export
  • Stream persistence options
  • Checkpoint/resume capability
  • Multi-stream coordination

Success Criteria

  • Process MinION output in real-time
  • Detect patterns within seconds
  • Scale to multiple streams
  • Maintain accuracy vs batch
  • Provide meaningful live insights
