DAS/2: Next Generation Distributed Annotation System Gregg Helt 1, Steve Chervitz 1, Andrew Dalke 3, Allen Day 4, Ed Erwin 1, Andreas Prlic 2, and Lincoln Stein 4 with many other contributors (1) Affymetrix, Inc. (2) Sanger Institute (3) Dalke Scientific; (4) Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Development of DAS/2 Specification  DAS/2 development initially motivated by numerous suggestions for improvements to DAS on the DAS mailing list, and the series of RFCs collected on biodas.org site  Though informal, still a long process!  NIH grant awarded June 2004 for development of next-generation DAS/2  Most recent DAS/2 specification is available at biodas.org/documents/das2/das2_protocol.html (tied to CVS repository) biodas.org/documents/das2/das2_protocol.html  DAS/2.0 XML schema frozen since November 2006 – Specified with RelaxNG – Available in CVS repository at cvs.biodas.org, in file das/das2/das2_schemas.rnccvs.biodas.org  Feedback from the DAS developer and user communities will continue to guide future iterations of the DAS/2 specification – Biweekly teleconference, everyone is welcome to join in the discussion – DAS/2 mailing list ( ) – biodas.org site moving to wiki ( biodas.org/wiki ) biodas.orgbiodas.org/wiki

“Things I would like to do with DAS, but currently can’t” (without extensions)  Achieve reasonable performance with large amounts of data  Represent features with more than two levels  Reliably refer to DAS features / sequences / etc. outside of DAS  Reliably relate feature types to a more structured ontology  Efficiently cache DAS feature queries  Easily identify when two DAS servers are using the same coordinate system (doable with help of Sanger DAS registry)  Have a standard way to create and edit DAS features

Preserving DAS1 Strengths in DAS/2  Specification is independent of implementation – Many server implementations – Many client implementations  Simple, simple, simple – HTTP for transport – URLs for queries – XML for responses – REST-like style  No central annotation authority  Focus on location-based annotations of biological sequences  Couple XML response formats to URL request formats – Instead of XML formats on their own

Basic DAS/2 Queries  NetAffx examples:  Sources query: what genomes and versions of those genomes are available?  Segments query: what annotated sequences are available  Types query: what types of annotations are available  Features query: get features / annotations – Based on type – Based on segment – Based on segment range – Based on annotation ID

High Level Comparison DAS/1 and DAS/2 are very similar DAS/1DAS/2

DAS/2 Enhancements: Performance  One of the biggest complaints about DAS1 : Performance – Very verbose annotation XML, which hinders performance at the server, network, and client  DAS/2 Solution #1: Refactoring annotation XML – Much smaller minimum footprint  DAS/2 Solution #2: Alternative return formats – All servers can return defined das2xml annotation format – Servers can also specify additional return formats per annotation type – Clients can choose from alternative formats if they desire – Not restricted to XML, or even text – Examples: GFF3, BED, PSL, binaryPSL – Extreme performance improvements possible

Redesigned XML for improved performance: minimal feature XML DAS/2 DAS/1

DAS/2 Enhancements: Resolving Ambiguities Example: Ambiguous Range Queries query range = x:y xy Server 1 Response: Server 2 Response: Overlap or containment? Parent based or separate? Server 3 Response: Server 4 Response:

DAS/2 Solution #1 – remove spec ambiguity Example: Ambiguous Range Queries  Be specific about whether feature query range filter is overlap, containment, etc.  Add different region filters for different possibilities – Overlaps – Contains – Within – Identical  Allow boolean combinations of these and other filters in the query URL – A smart client could used these combinations to optimize queries  Return full feature closure ( all parents and parts ) – This also allows streaming processing

Solution #2: DAS/2 Validation Suite  Verify whether a DAS/2 server is compliant with the specification. – Critical for improving interoperability between clients and servers developed by different groups.  Standalone tool and web application, written in Python – Enter a DAS/2 URL query or XML response – Get an HTML report about DAS/2 compliance  Performs schema-based validation – also validates some parts of protocol not formalized in schema, such as URL query parameters  Web application at – Moving soon – Plan is to eventually integrate into DAS/2 registry server – Source code available at:

DAS/2 enhancements to integrate needs for DAS1 extensions  CAPABILITIES element – replaces DAS1 X-Das-Capabilities header  Gene DAS – DAS/2 feature is not required to have a location – If has a location, not required to specify range  Protein DAS – DAS/2 feature is not required to have any DNA-specifc elements like phase or orientation  Alignment DAS – DAS/2 feature can have multiple locations – Each location can have an optional gap attribute which is a CIGAR string – Two locations: pairwise alignment – More than two locations: multiple alignment  “simple” DAS – Server can choose to not support a capability by omitting its CAPABILITIES element  For example, no segments / entry-points query – Can specify that feature filters are not supported  Structural DAS  Others (3DEM, Interaction, ???)

More DAS/2 Enhancements  IDs are URIs – Could be LSIDs or URLs – Allows for integration with many other web technologies – xml:base  “Writeback” spec to allow DAS/2 clients to create and edit annotations on DAS/2 servers – Spec has been frozen, but client and server implementation are still preliminary  Ontologies for feature types  Feature hierarchies  DAS/2 Registry  And more…

DAS/2 Server Implementations  GMOD-based DAS/2 server – Deployed at – Uses BioPerl for middleware – Plugin architecture for data backend – Currently most developed plugin is for CHADO database – Source code available via anonymous CVS as part of GMOD  See for access details.  Genometry DAS/2 server – Deployed at – Designed for performance  (Mostly) In-memory object datastore  Quickly transmit hundreds of thousands of features  Quickly transmit millions of graph data points – Only supports fairly simple annotations – Supports alternative content formats – Supports some DAS/2 caching via If-Modified-Since header  Simple files exposed on web server  Easing migration: DAS1  DAS/2 transformational proxy server  Other implementations?

DAS/2 Client Implementations  IGB (“ig-bee”) - genome visualization app developed at Affymetrix – Implemented in Java in the Integrated Genome Browser  Supports data loading via a variety of formats and mechanisms  Contains both DAS1 and DAS/2 clients – Handles large amounts of genome-scale data  Loads hundreds of thousands of sequence annotations at once  Loads dense quantitative graphs with millions of data points  Maintains real-time responsiveness to user interactions  Includes features to support exploratory data analysis  Plugin architecture for customized extensions – Source code released under Common Public License   Also available as a WebStart-managed application at Affymetrix or Sourceforge web sites  Other implementations? – GBrowse – Dasypus validator – DAS/2 Registry – ???

DAS/2 Registry  Main registry implementation developed by Andreas Prlic  Evolving from Sanger DAS1 registry  Multiple ways to access registry – Andreas’ talk later  One elegant way: DAS/2 registry is simply a DAS/2 server – Most info needed for a registry are already available in DAS/2 XML responses – So any DAS/2 server that aggregates DAS/2 sources in its sources XML doc can be considered a DAS/2 registry – This works because of the RESTful approach to specifying URLs for accessing particular versioned source capabilities – “Simple” DAS/2 registries can even be static documents – Very useful for in-house DAS/2 registries  More sophisticated DAS/2 registries can have query filters for the sources query (not developed yet)

DAS/2 Writeback  Uses HTTP POST  DAS2XML POSTed to DAS/2 writeback server  Atomic transactional unit is the HTTP call  Locking mechanism  Spec stable  Only partial client and server implementations, expect spec to change as implementations are further developed

Future DAS/2 developments  Short term – More documentation of specification – More documentation of existing client and server implementations – Continued improvements to client and server implementations – Most work needed on client and server writeback implementation  Help install and/or develop DAS/2 servers at model organism database sites  Mapping servers  Interclient communications protocol  Extreme DAS caching  [ 3D structure ]  Extensions – Extended via CAPABILITIES element – General Principles:  If entity is independent enough to have an ID, the ID shoud be a URI ……
