Compression of Quality Factors in Next Generation Sequencing
2014
We propose a compression algorithm for the quality scores contained in FASTQ files which are generated in large volumes during high throughput sequencing. The proposed algorithm is a context dependent arithmetic coder which is based on observations of the structure of quality scores in FASTQ files. Simulation results indicate a significantly superior performance of the algorithm to the current state of the art.
