rhdf5filters

rhdf5filters provides a collection of additional compression filters for HDF5 datasets, enabling seamless integration with rhdf5 while also allowing the compiled filters to be used with external applications.

Key Features:

• HDF5 Compression Filters: The package supplies additional compression filters for HDF5 datasets beyond the standard built-in options.
• rhdf5 Integration: The filters integrate seamlessly with the rhdf5 Bioconductor package for HDF5 data manipulation in R.
• External Application Support: The compiled filters can be used independently with external applications outside the R environment.

Scientific Applications:

• HDF5 Dataset Compression: Enables efficient storage of large biological datasets in HDF5 format through specialized compression algorithms.

Methodology:

The package compiles additional compression filters for use with HDF5 datasets.
