Genozip[1][2] is a proprietary universal compressor for genomic files. Its main feature is to compress FASTQ, SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA, GVF, PHYLIP and 23andMe files, but it can also work as a normal file compressor.
Genozip works by segmenting a source file into its individual data contexts, applying context-specific algorithms to exploit correlations between values within the same context or between contexts, and finally applying the appropriate compression codec to each context.[2][3]
Genozip is made to be extensible; it can be extended either by adding new segmenters[lower-alpha 1]context-specific algorithms and/or codecs.[1] It is one of the first universal compressor of genomic file formats[lower-alpha 2].
