1. A method for storing sequence read data, the method comprising:

  • sequencing a nucleic acid from a sample to generate a plurality of sequence reads;

    identifying one or more sets of duplicative sequence reads within the plurality of sequence reads;

    storing only one sequence read from each of the one or more sets of duplicative sequence in a master read file;

    collecting meta information for each of the plurality of sequence reads, appending the meta information into a compressed file, and matching the meta information to a single read in the master read file; and

    later retrieving the plurality of sequence reads from the compressed file and the master read file.
