OK, so using (unaligned) BAM isn't about to happen. > So in the near term, BGZF would not meet our needs. > I don't follow you there, BAM != BGZF. We can use BGZF to compress FASTQ, FASTA, GenBank, basically anything. You get compression approaching that of plain GZIP (depending on the characteristics of the data) plus efficient random access. > However, work is quite far along on a GZIP-based one > that works with ELAND and BWA, since they both read > GZIP FASTQ files, and works/will work with a converter > to fastq_sanger for other tools. > > I can put you in touch with the engineer doing the work if > you are interested. That might be a good idea, or ask them to post here? Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
