# POST /sequencestore

`POST /sequencestore`

Creates a sequence store and returns its metadata. Sequence stores are used to store sequence data files called read sets that are saved in FASTQ, BAM, uBAM, or CRAM formats. For aligned formats (BAM and CRAM), a sequence store can only use one reference genome. For unaligned formats (FASTQ and uBAM), a reference genome is not required. You can create multiple sequence stores per region per account.

The following are optional parameters you can specify for your sequence store:

*   Use `s3AccessConfig` to configure your sequence store with S3 access logs (recommended).
    
*   Use `sseConfig` to define your own KMS key for encryption.
    
*   Use `eTagAlgorithmFamily` to define which algorithm to use for the HealthOmics eTag on objects.
    
*   Use `fallbackLocation` to define a backup location for storing files that have failed a direct upload.
    
*   Use `propagatedSetLevelTags` to configure tags that propagate to all objects in your store.
    

For more information, see [Creating a HealthOmics sequence store](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/omics/latest/dev/create-sequence-store.html) in the _Amazon Web Services HealthOmics User Guide_.

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required — A name for the store.
  - `description` string — A description for the store.
  - `sseConfig` object — Server-side encryption (SSE) settings for a store.
    - `type` 'KMS' — The encryption type.
    - `keyArn` string — An encryption key ARN.
  - `tags` object — Tags for the store. You can configure up to 50 tags.
  - `clientToken` string — An idempotency token used to dedupe retry requests so that duplicate runs are not created.
  - `fallbackLocation` string — An S3 location that is used to store files that have failed a direct upload. You can add or change the <code>fallbackLocation</code> after creating a sequence store. This is not required if you are uploading files from a different S3 bucket.
  - `eTagAlgorithmFamily` 'MD5up' | 'SHA256up' | 'SHA512up' — The ETag algorithm family to use for ingested read sets. The default value is MD5up. For more information on ETags, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/omics/latest/dev/etags-and-provenance.html">ETags and data provenance</a> in the <i>Amazon Web Services HealthOmics User Guide</i>.
  - `propagatedSetLevelTags` TagKey[] — The tags keys to propagate to the S3 objects associated with read sets in the sequence store. These tags can be used as input to add metadata to your read sets.
  - `s3AccessConfig` object — S3 access configuration parameters.
    - `accessLogLocation` string — Location of the access logs.

## Response `200`

Success

- CreateSequenceStoreResponse
  - `id` string, required — The store's ID.
  - `arn` string, required — The store's ARN.
  - `name` string — The store's name.
  - `description` string — The store's description.
  - `sseConfig` object — Server-side encryption (SSE) settings for the store. This contains the KMS key ARN that is used to encrypt read set objects.
    - `type` 'KMS', required — The encryption type.
    - `keyArn` string — An encryption key ARN.
  - `creationTime` string, date-time, required — When the store was created.
  - `fallbackLocation` string — An S3 location that is used to store files that have failed a direct upload.
  - `eTagAlgorithmFamily` 'MD5up' | 'SHA256up' | 'SHA512up' — The algorithm family of the ETag.
  - `status` 'CREATING' | 'ACTIVE' | 'UPDATING' | 'DELETING' | 'FAILED' — The status of the sequence store.
  - `statusMessage` string — The status message of the sequence store.
  - `propagatedSetLevelTags` TagKey[] — The tags keys to propagate to the S3 objects associated with read sets in the sequence store.
  - `s3Access` SequenceStoreS3Access — The S3 access metadata of the sequence store.
    - `s3Uri` string — The S3 URI of the sequence store.
    - `s3AccessPointArn` string — This is ARN of the access point associated with the S3 bucket storing read sets.
    - `accessLogLocation` string — Location of the access logs.
