MetaCRAM – Lossless Compression Tool for Metagenomic Reads

MetaCRAM

:: DESCRIPTION

MetaCRAM is a pipeline for taxonomy identification and lossless compression of FASTA-format metagenomic reads.  It integrates algorithms for taxonomy identification, read alignment, assembly, and finally, a reference-based compression method in a parallel manner.

MFCompress 1.01 – Compression tool for FASTA and multi-FASTA files

MFCompress 1.01

:: DESCRIPTION

MFCompress is a compression tool for FASTA and multi-FASTA files. In comparison to gzip and applied to multi-FASTA files, MFCompress can provide additional average compression gains of almost 50%, i.e.,it potentially doubles the available storage, although at the cost of some more computation time.
