SOLiDzipper: A High Speed Encoding Method for the Next-Generation Sequencing Data.
Evol Bioinform Online. 2011;7:1-6
Authors: Jeon YJ, Park SH, Ahn SM, Hwang HJ
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods pose computational challenges of handling large volumes of data. Although cloud computing offers a potential solution to these challenges, transferring a large data set across the internet is the biggest obstacle, which may be overcome by efficient encoding methods. When encoding is used to facilitate data transfer to the cloud, the time factor is equally as important as the encoding efficiency. Moreover, to take advantage of parallel processing in cloud computing, a parallel technique to decode and split compressed data in the cloud is essential. Hence in this review, we present SOLiDzipper, a new encoding method for NGS data.
