The human genome represents 3 GB of information when stored as 8-bit characters, or about 1.3 GB in a more compact 3-bit representation. It is not possible to access or send such large data volumes routinely over the internet. Consequently, there is a pressing need for an efficient genome compressor. We offer an easy to use, fast and highly effective reference-based genome compression software.
