Quip: Aggressive compression of FASTQ, SAM and BAM files.
This will help us to reduce the amount of drive space we take up and decrease data transfer times Quip compresses next-generation sequencing data with extreme prejudice. It supports input and output in the FASTQ and SAM/BAM formats, compressing large datasets to as little as ...Tags: Quip, Aggressive, compression, FASTQ, SAM, BAM, files

Structure of Binary files used for storing sequencing data-bam and sff
Many times bioinformatician needs to parse binary files like bam and sff. Advantage of binary files is that they occupy less space in memory with maximum information content. Link for those who looking for structure of Bam and sff file: Bam: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/SAMv1.pdf (from...Tags: bam, sff, sam, iontorrent data, 454 data, pyrosequencing data, hxd, hexadecimal, binary files, sequencing
