Announcing sample-based partitioning for AWS HealthOmics variant stores

The article announces that AWS HealthOmics variant stores are now optimized to improve sample-based queries, saving time and query costs for customers.

Specifically, the article covers:

• AWS HealthOmics is a fully managed service designed for bioinformatics and drug discovery workflows and storage.
• New variant stores will automatically partition data by sample information.
• This sample partitioning allows queries with sample-level filtering to scan a smaller subset of data, leading to lower query costs and faster results.
• Sample-based queries are common when using clinical outcome or phenotypic information for filtering.
• Sample partitioning is now supported for all new variant stores created in regions where AWS HealthOmics is available.
