Abstract: In an implementation, a query signature corresponding to a query sequence based on a set of closest cluster centroids is generated. Based on the query signature, one or more target reference signatures from a plurality of reference signatures are identified. Further based on the one or more target reference signatures, a probable taxonomic group is identified and assigned to the query sequence.

Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a system and a method for compression of genomic data. In one embodiment, the method for compression of genomic data includes obtaining modified genomic data from genomic data based at least in part on intermediary data identified from the genomic data. In one implementation, the modified genomic data includes a plurality of primary characters. The genomic data may then be modified to generate one or more most-frequent character files based at least on a most-frequent character and a second most-frequent character from among the plurality of primary characters. Further, based at least on the one or more most-frequent character files and the modified genomic data, a least-frequent characters file may be created from the modified genomic data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for compression of a genomic data file are described herein. In one embodiment, genomic sequences, sequence headers, and quality sequences associated with a plurality of data streams provided in a genomic data file are identified. Each of the genomic sequences includes at least one of primary characters and secondary characters. Further, the secondary characters from each of the genomic sequences may be removed to obtain an intermediate genomic sequence file and a quality score corresponding to the secondary character may be modified in quality sequences to obtain an intermediate quality sequence file. Based on the intermediate genomic sequence file and the intermediate quality sequence file, a modified genomic sequence file and a modified quality sequence file, respectively are generated. A compressed genomic data file is obtained using at least the modified genomic sequence and the modified quality sequence.
