About PetaGene
PetaGene compresses genomic data files without losing any information. The software reduces the storage footprint of BAM and FASTQ files by 60% to 90%, cutting costs for research institutions and clinical facilities managing vast sequencing data. Files remain accessible in their original format through transparent decompression, so existing tools work without modification. Genome sequencing generates terabytes of data per project, and storage costs have grown faster than sequencing itself. PetaGene makes compressed files faster to transfer, cheaper to store, and immediately usable for analysis. Researchers at Cambridge, the NHS, and AstraZeneca rely on the technology to manage expanding datasets without infrastructure replacement.
