The advent of large scale genome biobank projects, such as the UK Biobank, has lead to the availability of whole genome sequencing data for thousands of individuals. This means that the compute must go to where the data is stored, which is typically the cloud, and researchers must pay to run their analyses as most biobanks are associated with commercial providers. The aim of this project is to optimise workflows utilising the cloud to extract short tandem repeat and other structural variant information from whole genome sequencing data so that cost is minimised.
