* Package name : htscodecs Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : , Genome Research Ltd. * URL : https://github.com/jkbonfield/htscodecs/ * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: C Description : Custom compression for CRAM and others This library implements the custom CRAM codecs used for "EXTERNAL" block types. These consist of two variants of the rANS codec (8-bit and 16-bit renormalisation, with run-length encoding and bit-packing also supported in the latter), a dynamic arithmetic coder, and custom codecs for name/ID compression and quality score compression derived from fqzcomp. . They come with small command line test tools to act as both compression exploration programs and as part of the test harness.
