SDK Tools

Omics Transfer Manager

Basic Usage

The TransferManager class makes it easy to download files from a AWS HealthOmics reference or read set. By default the files are saved to the current directory, or you can specify a custom location with the directory parameter.

import boto3
from omics.common.omics_file_types import ReadSetFileName, ReferenceFileName, ReadSetFileType
from omics.transfer.manager import TransferManager
from omics.transfer.config import TransferConfig

REFERENCE_STORE_ID = "<my-reference-store-id>"
SEQUENCE_STORE_ID = "<my-sequence-store-id>"

client = boto3.client("omics")
manager = TransferManager(client)

# Download all files for a reference.
manager.download_reference(REFERENCE_STORE_ID, "<my-reference-id>")

# Download all files for a read set to a custom directory.
manager.download_read_set(SEQUENCE_STORE_ID, "<my-read-set-id>", "my-sequence-data")

Download specific files

Specific files can be downloaded via the download_reference_file and download_read_set_file methods. The client_fileobj parameter can be either the name of a local file to create for storing the data, or a TextIO or BinaryIO object that supports write methods.

# Download a specific reference file.
manager.download_reference_file(
    REFERENCE_STORE_ID,
    "<my-reference-id>",
    ReferenceFileName.INDEX
)

# Download a specific read set file with a custom filename.
manager.download_read_set_file(
    SEQUENCE_STORE_ID,
    "<my-read-set-id>",
    ReadSetFileName.INDEX,
    "my-sequence-data/read-set-index"
)

Upload specific files

Specific files can be uploaded via the upload_read_set method. The fileobjs parameter can be either the name of a local file, or a TextIO or BinaryIO object that supports read methods. For paired end reads, you can define fileobjs as a list of files.

# Upload a specific read set file.
read_set_id = manager.upload_read_set(
    "my-sequence-data/read-set-file.bam",
    SEQUENCE_STORE_ID,
    "BAM",
    "name",
    "subject-id",
    "sample-id",
    "<my-reference-arn>",
)

# Upload paired end read set files.
read_set_id = manager.upload_read_set(
    ["my-sequence-data/read-set-file_1.fastq.gz", "my-sequence-data/read-set-file_2.fastq.gz"],
    SEQUENCE_STORE_ID,
    "FASTQ",
    "name",
    "subject-id",
    "sample-id",
    "<my-reference-arn>",
)

Subscribe to events

Transfer events: on_queued, on_progress, and on_done can be observed by defining a subclass of OmicsTransferSubscriber and passing in an object which can receive events.

class ProgressReporter(OmicsTransferSubscriber):
    def on_queued(self, **kwargs):
        future: OmicsTransferFuture = kwargs["future"]
        print(f"Download queued: {future.meta.call_args.fileobj}")

    def on_done(self, **kwargs):
        print("Download complete")

manager.download_read_set(SEQUENCE_STORE_ID, "<my-read-set-id>", subscribers=[ProgressReporter()])

Threads

Transfer operations use threads to implement concurrency. Thread use can be disabled by setting the use_threads attribute to False.

If thread use is disabled, transfer concurrency does not occur. Accordingly, the value of the max_request_concurrency attribute is ignored.

# Disable thread use/transfer concurrency
config = TransferConfig(use_threads=False)
manager = TransferManager(client, config)
manager.download_read_set(SEQUENCE_STORE_ID, "<my-read-set-id>")

Omics URI Parser

The OmicsUriParser class makes it easy to parse AWS HealthOmics readset and reference URIs to extract fields relevant for calling AWS HealthOmics APIs.

Readset file URI:

Readset file URIs come in the following format:

omics://<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.storage.<AWS_REGION>.amazonaws.com/<SEQUENCE_STORE_ID>/readSet/<READSET_ID>/<SOURCE1/SOURCE2>

For example:

omics://123412341234.storage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/5432154321/readSet/5346184667/source1
omics://123412341234.storage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/5432154321/readSet/5346184667/source2

Reference file URI:

Reference file URIs come in the following format:

omics://<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.storage.<AWS_REGION>.amazonaws.com/<REFERENCE_STORE_ID>/reference/<REFERENCE_ID>/source

For example:

omics://123412341234.storage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/5432154321/reference/5346184667/source

To handle both HealthOmics URI types, you would use code like the following:

import boto3
from omics.uriparse.uri_parse import OmicsUriParser, OmicsUri

READSET_URI_STRING = "omics://123412341234.storage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/5432154321/readSet/5346184667/source1"
REFERENCE_URI_STRING = "omics://123412341234.storage.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/5432154321/reference/5346184667/source"

client = boto3.client("omics")

readset = OmicsUriParser(READSET_URI_STRING).parse()
reference = OmicsUriParser(REFERENCE_URI_STRING).parse()

# use the parsed fields from the URIs to call AWS HealthOmics APIs:

manager = TransferManager(client)

# Download all files for a reference.
manager.download_reference(reference.store_id, reference.resource_id)

# Download all files for a read set to a custom directory.
manager.download_read_set(readset.store_id, readset.resource_id, readset.file_name)

# Download a specific read set file with a custom filename.
manager.download_read_set_file(
    readset.store_id,
    readset.resource_id,
    readset.file_name,
    "my-sequence-data/read-set-index"
)

CLI Tools

CLI tools are modules in this package that can be invoked from the command line with:

python -m omics.cli.<TOOL-NAME>

Omics Rerun

The omics-rerun tool makes it easy to start a new run execution from a CloudWatch Logs manifest.

For an overview of what it does and available options run:

python -m omics.cli.rerun -h

List runs from manifest

The following example lists all workflow run ids which were completed on July 1st (UTC time):

python -m omics.cli.rerun -s 2023-07-01T00:00:00 -e 2023-07-02T00:00:00

this returns something like:

1234567 (2023-07-01T12:00:00.000)
2345678 (2023-07-01T13:00:00.000)

Rerun a previously-executed run

To rerun a previously-executed run, specify the run id you would like to rerun:

python -m omics.cli.rerun 1234567

this returns something like:

StartRun request:
{
  "workflowId": "4974161",
  "workflowType": "READY2RUN",
  "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123412341234:role/MyRole",
  "parameters": {
    "inputFASTQ_2": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R2_001-5x.fastq.gz",
    "inputFASTQ_1": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R1_001-5x.fastq.gz"
  },
  "outputUri": "s3://my-bucket/my-path"
}
StartRun response:
{
  "arn": "arn:aws:omics:us-west-2:123412341234:run/3456789",
  "id": "3456789",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "tags": {}
}

It is possible to override a request parameter from the original run. The following example tags the new run, which is particularly useful as tags are not propagated from the original run.

python -m omics.cli.rerun 1234567 --tag=myKey=myValue

this returns something like:

StartRun request:
{
  "workflowId": "4974161",
  "workflowType": "READY2RUN",
  "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123412341234:role/MyRole",
  "parameters": {
    "inputFASTQ_2": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R2_001-5x.fastq.gz",
    "inputFASTQ_1": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R1_001-5x.fastq.gz"
  },
  "outputUri": "s3://my-bucket/my-path",
  "tags": {
    "myKey": "myValue"
  }
}
StartRun response:
{
  "arn": "arn:aws:omics:us-west-2:123412341234:run/4567890",
  "id": "4567890",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "tags": {
    "myKey": "myValue"
  }
}

Before submitting a rerun request, it is possible to dry-run to view the new StartRun request:

python -m omics.cli.rerun -d 1234567

this returns something like:

StartRun request:
{
  "workflowId": "4974161",
  "workflowType": "READY2RUN",
  "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123412341234:role/MyRole",
  "parameters": {
    "inputFASTQ_2": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R2_001-5x.fastq.gz",
    "inputFASTQ_1": "s3://omics-us-west-2/sample-inputs/4974161/HG002-NA24385-pFDA_S2_L002_R1_001-5x.fastq.gz"
  },
  "outputUri": "s3://my-bucket/my-path"
}

Omics Run Analyzer

The omics-run-analyzer tool retrieves a workflow run manifest from CloudWatchLogs and generates statistics for the run, including CPU and memory utilization for each workflow task.

For an overview of what it does and available options run:

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer -h

List completed runs

The following example lists all workflow runs completed in the past 5 days:

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer -t5d

this returns something like:

Workflow run IDs (<completionTime> <UUID>):
1234567 (2024-02-01T12:00:00 12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789012)
2345678 (2024-02-03T13:00:00 12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789012)

Analyze a specific workflow run

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 1234567 -o run-1234567.csv

this returns something like:

omics-run-analyzer: wrote run-1234567.csv

The CSV output by the command above includes the following columns:

• arn : Unique workflow run or task identifier

• recommendedCpus: The number of CPUs recommended for this task (corresponding to the number of CPUs in the omicsInstanceTypeMinimum)
• recommendedMemoryGiB: The amount of GiB of memory recommended for this task (corresponding to the number of CPUs in the omicsInstanceTypeMinimum)
• estimatedUSD : Estimated HealthOmics charges (USD) for the workflow based on sizeReserved and runningSeconds
• minimumUSD : Estimated HealthOmics charges (USD) for the workflow based on the recommended omicsInstanceTypeMinimum and runningSeconds

For rows that are a task type, the maximums, averages and reserved columns refer to the maximum, average or reserved amounts of the respective resource used by that task. These values can be used to guide the resources that should be requested for that task. For rows that are a run type the maximums, averages and reserved columns refer to the maximum, average or reserved amounts of the respective resource used concurrently by that run. These values can be used to determine if the accounts HealthOmics active CPUs/memory limits are being reached which might indicate the run is constrained by these limits.

Warning

At this time AWS HealthOmics does not report the average or maximum storage used by runs that use "DYNAMIC" storage that run for under two hours. Because of this limitation the storageMaximumGiB and storageAverageGiB are set to zero and will not be included in the estimate run cost.

Run Optimization and Estimated Cost Reduction

Based on the metrics observed and calculated for a run, the application will recommend the smallest instance type that could be used for each task in the run. The type is reported in the omicsInstanceTypeMinimum column. To obtain this type for a task you can set the task CPU and memory requested for the task to the values of recommendedCpus and recommendedMemoryGiB in you workflow definition. Based on this change each task would be estimated to reduce the cost of the run by estimatedUSD minus minimumUSD. The total potential cost reduction for the entire run can be estimated by subtracting the minimumUSD value from the estimatedUSD value in the row where the type is "run".

Warning

Cost estimates are based on the AWS list price at the time the run analysis is performed. In the event prices have changed these may not reflect the price you were charged at the time of the run. Further, the run analyzer does not account for any discounts, credits or price agreements you may have. Price estimates for recommended instance sizes (minimumUSD) assume that the runtime of the task will remain the same on the recommended instance. Actual costs will be determined based on the actual runtime.

Add headroom to recommendations

Sometimes you will see variance in the amount of memory and CPU used in a run task, especially if you expect to run workflows with larger input files than were used in the analyzed run. For this reason you might want to allow add some headroom to the recommendations produced by the the run analyzer.

The -H or --headroom flag can be use to add an additional 0.0 to 1.0 times the max CPU or memory used by a task to the calculation used to determine the omicsInstanceTypeMinimum recommendation. For example if a task used a max of 3.6 GiB of memory and the headroom value is 0.5 then 6 GiB of memory - math.ceil(3.6 * (1 + 0.5)) - will be used to determine the minimum instance type that should be used.

If your analyzed run is already close to optimal then adding headroom might result in the recommended minimum instance being larger than the instance used in the run which will also cause the "minimumUSD" to be larger than the "estimatedUSD".

Produce a timeline plot for a run

The RunAnalyzer tool can produce an interative timeline plot of a workflow. The plots allow you to visualize how individual tasks ran over the course of the run.

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer -P plots/ 7113639

Output workflow run manifest in JSON format

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 1234567 -s -o run-1234567.json

this returns something like:

omics-run-analyzer: wrote run-1234567.json

Output optimized configuration

Warning

Currently this feature only supports Nextflow workflows.

The --write-config option will write a new configuration file with the recommendedCpus and recommendedMemoryGiB as the resource requirements. This will take the maximum values if the task is run multiple times with different inputs.

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 123456 --write-config=optimized.config

Aggregate scattered tasks and multiple runs (batch mode)

Note

This feature is currently experimental and the output may change in future versions. We encourage feedback on which aggregations are useful and which are not.

The --batch option can be used with a single run to aggregate all scattered tasks into one summarized task report. Non scattered tasks are also aggregated but will have a count of 1.

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 1234567 --batch

The option may also be used with multiple runs to aggregate all tasks including scattered tasks.

python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 1234567 2345678 3456789 --batch

These statics are reported in CSV format:

• "type": The type of row (currently always task),
• "name": The base name of the task with any scatter suffix removed
• "count": The number of times the named task has been observed in the runs
• "meanRunningSeconds": The average runtime in seconds for the named tasks
• "maximumRunningSeconds": The longest runtime in seconds for the named task
• "stdDevRunningSeconds": The standard deviation of runtimes for the named task
• "maximumCpuUtilizationRatio": The highest CPU utilization ratio seen for any of the named tasks
• "meanCpuUtilizationRation": The average CPU utilization ratio for the named task
• "maximumMemoryUtilizationRatio": The highest memory utilization ratio seen for any of the named tasks
• "meanMemoryUtilizationRation": The average memory utilization ratio for the named task
• "maximumGpusReserved": The largest number of GPUs reserved for the named tasks
• "meanGpusReserved": The average number of GPUs reserved for the named task
• "recommendedCpus": The recommended number of Cpus that would accommodate all observed instances of a task (including any headroom factor)
• "recommendedMemoryGiB": The recommended GiBs of memory that would accommodate all observed instances of a task (including and headroom factor)
• "recommendOmicsInstanceType": The recommended omics instance type that would accomodate all observed instances of a task
