METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING AND DECOMPRESSING GENETIC INFORMATION USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING(NGS)

PURPOSE: A method for compressing and decompressing gene information obtained by using NSG(Next Generation Sequencing) and a device thereof are provided to supply the random access of a lead about a reference genome and to compress and store an NSG lead arranged in the reference genome. CONSTITUTION: A data obtaining unit(1901) obtains arrangement information about positions of leads arranged in a reference rank and lead information about the leads obtained by using NSG. A lead analyzing unit(1903) groups the leads into blocks corresponding to sections by using an addressing method dividing the reference rank into the sections. A compressing unit(1904) generates a compression file including information about addresses of the blocks. An addressing unit(1902) identifies the addressing method based on the distribution of the leads arranged in the rank.
