Original Abstract Submitted
A method for compressing data includes obtaining a compression schema customized to a format of a delimited text file, and using the compression schema to parse the delimited text file into a plurality of data blocks, split each of the data blocks into a plurality of data units for efficient selective access, and compress the plurality of data units in the plurality of data blocks using different compression algorithms for improved compression ratio. The delimited file is split into a plurality of data blocks based on the region definitions in the schema. Each of the plurality of data blocks is split into the plurality of data units based on its respective data unit size specified in the schema. The plurality of data units in each of the plurality of data blocks are compressed using the different compression algorithms indicated by the compression instructions in the schema. The compressed file consists of the compressed data blocks, the compression schema and various metadata for data decompression, file reconstruction and functionalities such as data security and search query. The delimited text file may include genomic information or another type of information.
