AWS HealthOmics now supports output mapping files for CWL workflows

Today, AWS HealthOmics announces enhancements to its Common Workflow Language (CWL) support by automatically generating comprehensive outputs.json mapping files for every workflow run. With this launch, HealthOmics now provides researchers and bioinformaticians with a complete catalog of all outputs generated by workflow runs along with their precise locations in Amazon S3. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed biological data stores and workflows.

The new output mapping capability simplifies downstream process automation and validation of run outputs, enabling more efficient data analysis pipelines. Customers can now easily track and access all workflow results without manual tracking or custom parsing scripts, saving time and reducing the possibility of errors when working with complex, multi-step bioinformatics workflows at scale.

CWL output mapping files are now supported in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Israel (Tel Aviv).
