title = "CoCo: An application to store High-Throughput Sequencing data in compact text and binary file formats",
abstract = "The storage, manipulation, and especially internet transfer of large amounts of data produced by High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) instruments present major obstacles to utilizing the full potential of this promising technology. The current standard is based on storing all data, which are produced in text (FASTQ and FASTA) and often stored in binary (SRA and BAM) formats. To date, significant effort has been devoted to efficiently compressing these cumbersome sequencing data sets in their existing formats. However, given the substantial improvements in the quality of HTS data, we believe that if one can afford to exclude low quality data and read headers, new much more compressed data formats can be used to reduce the size of HTS data files by at least two orders of magnitude. Here we present several examples of file formats specifically designed to store only high quality sequencing reads in space efficient text and binary form.",
