Hi,
After indexing I got files. I need to use .bwt file and .sa file in my algorithm.
My question is: is there a way to decompress .bwt file and .sa file ?
I tried zlib.decompress it doesn't work.
Any help will be appreciated.
But why would you want to do that?
It's also not just a compression, it's a suffix array/transformed/indexed genome.
I need to use BWT and SA in my algorithm that why I need to decompress them because in the first step to produce BWT and SA: we have to form all rotations. All these rotations took too much memory that why I prefer to produce BWT and SA by using BWA. Any idea how to use BWT and SA ? Or what is the best way to produce BWT ? better than the naive version of the BWT that forms all rotations.
