Abstract
A method for more efficiently storing genomic includes designating multiple different data storage techniques for storing genomic data generated by a genomic pipeline. The method further identifies a file, made up of multiple blocks, generated by the genomic pipeline. The method determines which data storage technique is most optimal to store each block of the file. In doing so, the method may consider the type of the file, the stage of the genomic pipeline that generated the file, the access frequency for blocks of the file, the most accessed blocks of the file, and the like. The method stores each block using the data storage technique determined to be most optimal after completion of a designated stage of the genomic pipeline, such that blocks of the file are stored using several different data storage techniques. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
