Abstract

A method of compressing sequence data in a text-based format, the method involving parsing text of the sequence data into a plurality of fields, identifying encoding algorithms that achieve greatest compression gains with respect to the plurality of fields based on collected statistics, and generating a bitstream, compressed from the sequence data, by encoding the sequence data using the identified encoding algorithms.
