Abstract
Compressing files is disclosed. An input file to be compressed is first aligned. The alignment may be facilitated using the structure of the file. The file may include aspects such as format, rows, fields, or text, that can be used to create a warm start for the alignment operation. Aligning the file includes splitting the file into sequences that can be aligned. The result is a compression matrix, where each row of the matrix corresponds to part of the file. A consensus sequence id determined from the compression matrix. Using the consensus sequence, pointer pairs are generated. Each pointer pair identifies a subsequence of the consensus matrix. The compressed file includes the pointer pairs and the consensus sequence.
