SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF COMPRESSED SEQUENCING FILES
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF COMPRESSED SEQUENCING FILES
Systems and methods for management of storing and analyzing genetic sequencing data. In some embodiments disclosed herein, a method for converting a compressed SAM file back into a raw FASTQ file, wherein the information of the raw FASTQ file is substantively identical to that which was stored in the original FASTQ file from which the compressed SAM file is based is provided. The method advantageously enables storage of the smaller compressed SAM files for reliable, efficient reconstruction of the original FASTQ file when needed.
