Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and computer programs for compressing nucleic acid sequence data. A method can include obtaining nucleic acid sequence data representing: (i) a read sequence, and (ii) a plurality of quality scores, determining whether the read sequence includes at least one “N” base, based on a determination that the read sequence includes at least one “N” base, generating, by one or more computers, a first encoding data set by using a first encoding process to encode each set of four quality scores of the read sequence into a single byte of memory, and using a second encoding process to encode the first encoded data set, thereby compressing the data to be compressed.
