DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Next-generation sequencing technology has reduced the cost of DNA sequencing dramatically and shifted the bottleneck of metagenomics from data generation to data analysis. For example, MG-RAST, a free open-public metagenome annotation system, has been experiencing an increasingly large amount of data being submitted for analysis---a situation that threatens to overwhelm efficient production. To address this situation, we developed a pair of open-source software products: a data management system named Shock and a workflow management system named AWE. Shock and AWE can be used to build scalable infrastructure for biological sequence data management and analysis.
