Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for compressing and comparing data such as genomic data. The disclosed systems and methods may include selecting a segment, creating a delta representation of the segment, the delta representation comprising a script, and storing the script. Furthermore, the disclosed systems and methods may include receiving a first script comprising a compressed version of a first segment and receiving a second script comprising a compressed version of a second segment. The disclosed systems and methods may further include comparing the first script to the second script and determining if the first segment matches the second segment based upon the comparison of the first script to the second script.
