a Median compressed sizes of unaligned items (n = 57 items). The sizes are normalized in respect to gzip with quality scores. Note: the drop-in replacement pigz was used instead of gzip to make use of multi-threading capabilities. Q: Quality Scores. N + I: Nucleotide Sequences + Identifiers. b Median compressed sizes of aligned items (n = 23 items). The sizes are normalized in respect to BAM with quality scores. Q: Quality Scores, N + I + A: Nucleotide Sequences + Identifiers + Alignments, Genie-LL: Genie Low Latency encoding, Genie-GA: Genie Global Assembly encoding, Genie-LA: Genie Local Assembly encoding, Genie-Ref: Genie Reference-Based encoding. c Median encoding and decoding runtime for unaligned items, normalized to the encoding time of gzip. The small arrow for Mstcom indicates a value outside the displayed range. d Median encoding and decoding runtime for aligned items, normalized to the encoding time of BAM. Whiskers in all panels show 1.5 times the interquartile range, boxes show quartiles 1–3, the center line shows the median.
