Genozip™
The world's best genomic compressor
The best FASTQ, BAM, VCF compression.
Period.
​
Genozip provides the best compression of any commercial or open source compression software, for almost every case we tested.
​
Proven in large deployments​
Genozip is being used in production environments with 100s of TB of FASTQ and BAM data.
Lossless
Verifiable with MD5 or Adler32
Fast
Easily scales to 50 - 100 cores
Secure
Optionally, the data can be encrypted while being compressed, without affecting compression speed. Genozip uses AES-256 which is the US government standard and an ISO standard encryption algorithm.
Feature rich
--tar option to archive entire directories
- Supports 17 common genomic file formats + generic
- optional base quality score binning to improve compression.
Integration with pipelines
- Genozip is an easy to use command-line tool:
