DSRC 2.0 RC2 – DNA Sequence Reads Compression

DSRC 2.0 RC2

:: DESCRIPTION

DSRC is an application designed for compression of data files containing reads from DNA sequencing in FASTQ format. The amount of such files can be huge, e.g., a few (or tens) of gigabytes, so a need for a robust data compression tool is clear. Usually universal compression programs like gzip or bzip2 are used for this purpose, but it is obvious that a specialized tool can work better.
