Good day, Accidentally using save instead of writeFastq lead me to noticing how large a ShortReadQ object on disk is. A small set of reads
> RNAreads class: ShortReadQ length: 42680 reads; width: 50..100 cycles was saved two ways. As a text file, they take 11 MB uncompressed. But, when saved in binary format, the size on disk is 2.0 GB. Is a lot of unnecessary detail saved when the object is serialised? -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
