GTZ

GTZ compresses and transmits FASTQ-format next-generation sequencing (NGS) data losslessly to enable efficient storage and cloud transfer.

Key Features:

• Lossless Compression: Performs fast, lossless compression of FASTQ files while preserving the original file contents.
• Integrated Compression and Transmission: Combines compression and cloud transmission into a single process to optimize data transfer workflows.
• Optimized for FASTQ Files: Tailored to handle the structure and requirements of FASTQ files produced by NGS experiments.

Scientific Applications:

• Cloud storage of large sequencing datasets: Enables efficient storage of large NGS FASTQ datasets in cloud environments.
• Laboratory data management: Supports laboratories in streamlining NGS data management by reducing storage and transfer demands.
• Frequent data transfer between local and cloud: Facilitates repeated transmission of genomic data between local systems and cloud services.

Methodology:

Performs fast, lossless compression of FASTQ files and integrates compression with cloud transmission.
