Figure 3
A comparison of sequence compressors. The figure shows elapsed real run time vs. compression ratios of read sequences in bits per base for read length 100 bp. The measurements of each method for different coverage levels are connected by a line. Points correspond to coverage levels from 10 to 50 in multiples of 10 from left to right. Methods denoted with an "-r" were run with the reference-based option. Run times were measured with /usr/bin/time using a single thread on the same Linux server.
