Abstract
Compressing files is disclosed. An input file to be compressed is first aligned. During or prior to aligning the input file, hyperparameters are set, determined, or configured. The hyperparameters may be set, determined, or configured to achieve a particular performance characteristic. Aligning the file includes splitting the file into sequences that can be aligned. The result is a compression matrix, where each row of the matrix corresponds to part of the file. A consensus sequence id determined from the compression matrix. Using the consensus sequence, pointer pairs are generated. Each pointer pair identifies a subsequence of the consensus matrix. The compressed file includes the pointer pairs and the consensus sequence.
