naturepokerLooking at some plasmidsaurus generated pod5 files - bro, 15gb archive decompresses into a 15gb pod5 file. Why are they just adding on processing time for the user? 🤔
Mihail Zdravkov@naturepoker it may be a requirement by a database. I recently uploaded pod5s for a publication to ENI and they required a tar archive.
@mzdravkov I think so too. Though being a commercial service people pay for (they charge extra for pod5 download) I'd appreciate some extra compression!
Leszek@naturepoker @mzdravkov pod5 are very efficiently compressed internally so adding anything in top would add very little

Note, you can mount tar archives

@lpryszcz @naturepoker yeah, as far as I know, if you need extra compression you probably have to go to lossy-compression. You may find this paper interesting, if you haven't seen it: https://genome.cshlp.org/content/35/7/1574.short
