System and method for adaptive quality driven compression of genomic data using neural networks

Abstract

A system for recovering information lost during genomic data compression employs a quality-driven approach using neural networks. The system evaluates the importance of genomic regions through a quality analysis engine that assigns quality scores, while a rate control engine determines optimal compression rates based on these scores. A specialized neural network recovers lost information from correlated genomic datasets that have undergone lossy compression, utilizing recurrent layers for feature extraction and a channel-wise transformer with attention to capture complex relationships between data channels. The neural network architecture incorporates a deblocking network that combines these components to effectively reconstruct compressed data. A decoder receives and decompresses the data, then processes it through the neural network to recover information lost during compression. This adaptive system ensures critical genomic information is preserved while maximizing compression efficiency.
