Abstract:
Provided are methods and apparatuses for compressing genetic information, the methods and apparatuses obtaining read information about reads and alignment information about positions of the reads that are aligned to a reference sequence, and generating a compressed file comprising information about an address of a block corresponding to the aligned reads. Also, a method and apparatus for decompressing genetic information obtains a compressed file with respect to the genetic information, determines an address of a block corresponding to input gene search information, from the compressed file, and selectively decompresses genetic information corresponding to the determined address.
