Περίληψη | Positive selection is the tendency of beneficial traits to increase in prevalence in a population. Its detection carries theoretical significance and has practical applications, from shedding light on the forces that drive adaptive evolution to identifying drug-resistant mutations in pathogens. With next-generation sequencing producing a plethora of genomic data for population genetic analyses, the increased computational complexity of existing methods and/or inefficient memory management hinders the efficient analysis of large-scale datasets. To this end, we devise a system-level solution that couples a generic out-of-core algorithm for parsing genomic data with a decoupled access/execute accelerator architecture, thereby providing a method-independent infrastructure for the rapid and scalable inference of positive selection. We employ a novel detection mechanism that mostly relies on integer arithmetic operations, which fit well to FPGA fabric, while yielding qualitatively superior results than current state-of-the-art methods. We deploy a high-end system that pairs Hybrid Memory Cube with a mid-range FPGA, forming a high-throughput streaming accelerator that achieves 751x, 62x, and 20x faster analyses of simulated genomes than the widely used software tools SweepFinder2 (1 thread), OmegaPlus (40 threads), and SweeD (40 threads), respectively. Importantly, our solution can scan thousands of human genomes and millions of genetic polymorphisms (1000 Genomes dataset, 5,008 samples) in a matter of hours, requiring between 4 and 22 minutes per autosome, depending on the chromosomal length. | en |
