Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized genomic research by reducing the cost of whole-genome sequencing. One of the biggest challenges posed by modern sequencing technology is economic storage of NGS data. Storing raw data is infeasible because of its enormous size and high redundancy. In this article, we address the problem of storage and transmission of large Fastq files using innovative compression techniques.
