Genomics has emerged as one of the major sources of big data. The task of augmenting data-driven challenges into bioinformatics can be met using technologies of parallel and distributed computing. GATK4 tools for genomic variants detection are enabled for high-performance computing platforms - SPARK Map Reduce framework. GATK4+WDL+CROMWELL+SPARK+DOCKER is proposed as the way forward in achieving automation, reproducibility, reusability, customization, portability and scalability. SPARK-based tools perform equally well in genomic variants detection with that of standard implementation of GATK4 tools over a command-line interface. Implementation of workflows over cloud-based high-performance computing platforms will enhance usability and will be a way forward in community research and infrastructure development for genomic variant discovery.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
