Overview of different archive files sizes. Comparison of compression ratios of a diverse set of FASTA files compressed with bgzip, MFCompress, NAF and FASTAFS. The bar height represents the percentage of the archives file size compared with the original FASTA files size. The translucent bars on top of the coloured bars represent the corrected file size needed to store 16 additional bytes per-sequence reserved for storing MD5 checksums. We used genome references from fungi (CM002240), human with and without alternate loci (GRCh38.p13 and GRCh38.primary_asm), DNA (Coliphage phi-X174: NC_001422) and RNA viruses (SARS-CoV-2: NC_045512.2), databases with small RNAs (miRbase and tRNAs), Silva rRNA databases [17] and uniprot [18] for protein sequences
