This library provides both high level readers and writers for the BGZF format as well as lower level compressor and decompressor functions.

Bgzf is a multi-gzip format that adds an extra field to the header indicating how large the complete block (with header and footer) is.

Visit us at Fulcrum Genomics to learn more about how we can power your Bioinformatics with bgzf and beyond.

Please see the generated Rust Docs.

cargo bench

This runs Criterion benchmarks measuring:

• Single block compression at various levels
• Writer throughput
