A benchmark study of compression software for human short-read sequence data
Abstract Efficient data compression technologies are crucial to reduce the cost of long-term storage and file transfer in whole genome sequencing studies.This study benchmarked four specialized compression tools developed for paired-end fastq.gz files DRAGEN ORA 4.3.4 (ORA), Genozip 15.0.62, repaq 0.3.0, and SPRING 1.1.1 using three subjects from t
