SeqManager: a web-based tool for efficient sequencing data storage management and duplicate detection

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Motivation: Modern genomics laboratories generate massive volumes of sequencing data, often resulting in significant storage costs. Genomics storage consists of duplicate files, temporary processing files, and redundant intermediate data. Results: We developed SeqManager, a web-based application that provides automated identification, classification, and management of sequencing data files with intelligent duplicate detection. It also detects intermediate sequencing files that can safely be removed. Evaluation across four genomics laboratory settings demonstrate that our tool is fast and has a very low memory footprint. Availability and implementation: SeqManager is freely available under the MIT license at https://github.com/AIGeneRegulation/Sequencing-Data-Manager.
