genozip is a new lossless compression tool for Variant Call Format (VCF) files. By applying field-specific algorithms and fully utilizing the available computational hardware, genozip achieves the highest compression ratios amongst existing lossless compression tools known to the authors, at speeds comparable with the fastest multi-threaded compressors.
genozip is freely available to non-commercial users. It can be installed via conda-forge, Docker Hub, or downloaded from github.com/divonlan/genozip.
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
genozip 是一种新的用于变体调用格式 (VCF) 文件的无损压缩工具。通过应用特定于字段的算法并充分利用可用的计算硬件,genozip 实现了作者所知道的现有无损压缩工具中最高的压缩比,其速度可与最快的多线程压缩器相媲美。
genozip 可供非商业用户免费使用。它可以通过 conda-forge、Docker Hub 安装,也可以从 github.com/divonlan/genozip 下载。
