Comment by AndrewOMartin 6 months ago The compression ratio will likely skyrocket if you sorted the list of bases. 2 comments AndrewOMartin Reply shellfishgene 6 months ago You're joking, but a few bioinformatics tools use the Burrows-Wheeler transform to save memory, which is a bit like sorting the bases. jefftk 6 months ago You can also improve compression by reordering the sequences within the FASTA file, as long as you're using it as a dictionary and not a list of title-sequence pairs.
