Abstract
Compressing files is disclosed. An input file to be compressed is first aligned. When the file has multiple axes or dimensions, the file is aligned along each of the axes. Aligning the file includes splitting the file into sequences that can be aligned along each of the axes or dimensions. Aligning the file generates a compression tensor, where each row or dimensional space of the compression tensor corresponds to part of the file. A consensus tensor is determined from the compression tensor. Using the consensus tensor, pointer lists are generated. Each pointer lists identifies a subsequence or portion of the consensus tensor. The compressed file includes the pointer lists and the consensus tensor.
