METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING AND DECOMPRESSING GENETIC INFORMATION OBTAINED BY USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING (NGS)

摘要

Provided are methods and apparatuses for compressing genetic information, the methods and apparatuses obtaining read information about reads and alignment information about positions of the reads that are aligned to a reference sequence, and generating a compressed file comprising information about an address of a block corresponding to the aligned reads. Also, a method and apparatus for decompressing genetic information obtains a compressed file with respect to the genetic information, determines an address of a block corresponding to input gene search information, from the compressed file, and selectively decompresses genetic information corresponding to the determined address.
