Picopore: A tool for reducing the size of Oxford Nanopore Technologies' datasets without losing information.


A tool for reducing the size of Oxford Nanopore Technologies' datasets without losing information.

Options:

  • Lossless compression: reduces footprint without reducing the ability to use other nanopore tools by using HDF5's inbuilt gzip functionality
  • Deep lossless compression: reduces footprint without removing any data by indexing basecalled dataset to the event detection dataset
  • Raw compression: reduces footprint by removing event detection and basecall data, leaving only raw signal, configuration data and FASTQ
  • Minimal compression: reduces footprint by removing event detection and basecall data, leaving only raw signal (not yet implemented)
Authors: Scott Gigante, Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research
