The past decade has seen an exponential increase in biological sequencing capacity, and there has been a simultaneous effort to help organize and archive some of the vast quantities of sequencing data that are being generated. Although these developments are ...

Data volumes generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies is now a major concern for both data storage and transmission. This triggered the need for more efficient methods than general purpose compression tools, such as the widely used gzip method. Researchers ...

by Claudia Lutz Next generation DNA sequencing technologies have turned the vision of precision medicine into a plausible reality, but also threaten to overwhelm computing infrastructures with unprecedented volumes of data.  A recent $1.3M award from the National Institutes of ...

Storing, transmitting, and archiving data produced by next generation sequencing is a significant computational burden. New compression techniques tailored to short-read sequence data are needed. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Stony Brook University have devloped an approach to compression ...
