Method and system for the transmission of bioinformatics data

A method for the transmission of genomic data as multiplexed data streams comprising

• a genomic dataset list data structure for providing a list of all genomic datasets, said genomic datasets comprising genomic data available in the genomic streams;
• a genomic dataset mapping table data structure for providing the identifier of each stream of said genomic data associated to each genomic dataset;
• and genomic datasets partitioned into randomly accessible access units
• said genomic streams comprising encoded aligned reads organized into multiple layers of homogeneous data descriptors to univocally represent genome sequence reads
• wherein in one layer it is stored the mapping position of the first read as absolute position with respect to the reference genome and
• all the other positions are expressed as a difference with respect to the previous position and are stored in a specific layer
• said method further comprising
• the compression of said layers of homogeneous data descriptors
• and the transmission of said data streams.
