Feature

GTX.Zip compressor system features:

  • High Compression Ratio: The system implements Context Model compression technology, with a variety of optimized predicting model, and balancing the system concurrent and memory resources consumption, thus achieving a extreme high compression rate. For FASTQ files, GTX.Zip is capable to compress the original fastq file to 2.53%. The compression rate of GTX.Zip is about 3-6 times of gzip compressor which could save up to 80% storage space and transfer costs.
Data List Compression rate of GTX.Zip Compression rate of Fastq.gz
Nova_wes_1.fq 2.53% 17.15%
Nova_wes_2.fq 3.45% 18.34%
nova_wgs_1.fq 3.18% 17.55%
nova_wgs_2.fq 3.93% 18.66%
nova_rna_1.fq 4.56% 17.70%
nova_rna_2.fq 5.39% 18.94%
  • High Performance: GTX.Zip fully exploits the concurrency of the CPU, the new Haswell CPU architecture, and the computing power of the new instructions such as AVX2, BMI2, which makes GTX.Zip gain high compression speed even on a ordinary computing server, with the throughput of 1100MB/s for a single compression node. GTX.Zip Enterprise supports large-scale distributed compression.

  • Safety Guarantee: Thanks to its high speed, during the process of GTX.Zip compression, the data decompression and restore test is performed. The compression process will be done only after the data has been confirmed exactly the same as the source data. MD5 validation is performed to ensure data integrity as well.

  • Software Ecology: GTX.Zip provides command line and GUI decompression software for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. It also provides SDK interfaces in languages such as Python, C, C++, etc. which is convenient for third-party developers to read and write gtz file (GTX.Zip compression format) directly. For example, gtz version of bcl2fastq, fastp and BWA are supported by community now.
    If you want to get these softwares, please go to -GTZ Ecology Softwares-.

  • Nirvana Plan:
    As an enterprise-level software, GTX.Zip has developed a nirvana program for high-availability requirements to ensure that users can decompress compressed data into original data under the extreme condition. The nirvana plan's dual availability protection strategy is as follows:

    • GTX.Zip is multi-site hosted. http://gtz.io website, GitHub and other sites will permanently host all versions of GTX.Zip, to make sure that it is available to the entire network all the time and free of charge at any time.
    • To ensure that compressed data can be restored to original file under any conditions, pre-embedded micro decompression programs could be extract from compressed data first, and then be used to decompress the file.

Quick Start (Linux)

GTX.Zip Professional needs to be installed on the current machine. If not, please see -How to Install- .

1. Download samples file to be compressed
Sample Download: -sample.fq-

* 2GB fastq file, extracted from a real WES data produced by Novaseq

Reference genome Download: -GCF_000001405.37_GRCh38.p11_genomic.fna.gz-

2. Start compression

gtz sample.fq --ref GCF_000001405.37_GRCh38.p11_genomic.fna.gz

* gtz can also directly compress fastq.gz file

3、decompress

gtz -d sample.fq.gtz

How to use

Command navigation:

high compression rate with fasta, Decompress without using fasta anymore(recommended)

Higher compression rate, Decompress use the fasta exactly the same as compressing (Note: You and your client must properly store the fasta file for decompression in future)

compress BAM, Decompress without using fasta anymore(recommended)

Decompress use the fasta exactly the same as compressing (Note: You and your client must properly store the fasta file for decompression in future)

Lower compression rate than above, but can compress arbitrary files

Usage example:

1. Compression fastq/fastq.gz (high-power compression)

1.1 Default compression mode for fastq

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna(.gz)

The ref parameter is used to specify the reference genome fasta file for the nova.fastq.gz corresponding species, and the fasta file also supports the gz format.Note: After compression, and the fasta file is no longer needed when decompress.

1.2 Default compression mode for bam

gtz /data/nova.bam --ref /fasta/genomic.fna(.gz)

The ref parameter is used to specify the reference genome fasta file for the nova.bam corresponding species, and it's necessary. After compression, and the fasta file is no longer needed when decompress.

1.3 Specify the output file name

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna -o /out/nova.gtz

-o parameter specifies the output file name, note that the lowercase letter o

1.4 Decompression and Check after Compression Completion

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna --verify

After the data compression is completed, GTX.Zip will decompress it again to verify data MD5 and ensure that data can be fully restored. When the compressed file is used for archiving, this verify parameter isrecommended to be added. It is not necessary to add this parameter in peacetime.

1.5 Fast compression

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna -l 1

-l Parametric specified compression level. 1-5 is a fast compression mode. The current compression algorithm used in 1-5 is the same, here is mainly for future expansion. The same compression algorithm used in 6-9, which is also for future expansion. 6 is the default compression level, that is, the highest compression algorithm.

1.6 Limit compressed threads

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna -p 4

-p parameter specifies the number of threads used for compression,Here -p 4 means that only 4 threads will be used in the entire compression process, which is very useful when there are not enough computing resources.

1.7 Modify the default cache path

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna --cache-path /path/cache/

When using -- ref to specify fasta, GTZ converts FASTA to the corresponding binary file and caches it to the default path (/ home / user /. config / gtz), so that when the same FASTA is specified for the next compression, GTZ can read data directly from the cache path, which is relatively fast. You can use this parameter if you need it (for example, / home/user does not have enough space)

1.8 Do not package fasta files

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna --donot-pack-ref

Using the-donot-pack-ref option, the resulting target gtz file is smaller, but the corresponding fasta needs to be specified when unzipping. We do not recommend using this option because without this option, the compression ratio has little effectcompared to this option, but if you use this option, you need to specify the appropriate fasta when unzipping and you have to ensure the fasta is properly saved in safe disk.

2. Ordinary compression

2.1 compression fastq/fastq.gz

gtz /data/nova.fastq.gz

When not using --ref to specify fasta, GTZ compresses the fastq file normally, and the compression rate of common compression is much lower than that of high compression in most cases.

2.2 Compression of non-fastq/fastq.gz files

gtz /data/test.bam

GTZ can compress any file

3. Decompression

3.1 Decompress the fastq.gtz file with FASTA compression without FASTA

gtz -d nova.fastq.gtz

Unzipping gtz files with fasta compression by default does not require fasta files, which is a feature of gtz2.x.x

3.2 Decompress the bam.gtz file with FASTA compression without FASTA

gtz -d nova.bam.gtz

gtz -d nova.bam.gtz --bam-to-sam

default, bam.gtz is unzip to bam, if want to unzip to sam, add paramters --bam-to-sam

3.3 Unzip the gtz file with fasta compression. You need to specify fasta

gtz -d nova.fastq.gtz --ref /fasta/genomic.fna(.gz)

If the compression takes fasta, and uses the-donot-pack-ref parameter, you need to specify the fasta to be used when decompressing.

3.3 Decompress to terminal

gtz -d nova.fastq.gtz -c 2>/dev/null

-C parameter represents decompression to the terminal. 2>/dev/null means that other prints are removed and only the extracted fastq content is printed.

3.4 Unzip to the specified path

gtz -d nova.fastq.gtz -O /path/out/

-O parameter specifies the output directory of the decompressed file. Note that the capital letter O

3.5 Limit decompression threads

gtz -d nova.fastq.gtz -p 4

The -P parameter is also suitable for decompression, here the -P 4 means that only four threads are used for decompression.

3.6 Unzip low version gtz files with bin compression

gtz -d nova.fastq.old.gtz -r Homo_sapiens_bcacac9064331276504f27c6cf40e580.rbin

The -r parameter is used for compatibility with GTZ version, which is lower than 2.0.0. Version 2.0 can compress any GTZ file in the old version. When the old version of GTZ compresses fastq text and uses the -b parameter to specify the corresponding bin file, then version 2.0.0 can use - r to specify the corresponding RBIN file to decompress the old version of GTZ file.

Parameter description:

--ref <string>
	@ compress : specifies Fasta corresponding to the compressed file,
	which results in a higher compression rate

	@ decompress : if compression uses Fasta and parameter
	--donot-pack-ref is used, the corresponding Fasta needs to be
	specified by this parameter when decompressing

--bam-to-sam	
     	@ compress : do not use

     	@ decompress : decompress bam to sam, it's valid only for BAM,
     	otherwise bam decompressed to bam

-z,  --fastq-to-fastq-gz
	@ compress : do not use

	@ decompress : decompress fastq to fastq.gz, it's valid only for
	FASTQ

--cache-path <string>
	@ compress : when Fasta is specified by --ref, GTZ converts the Fasta
	to the corresponding binary file and then caches it to the default
	path, so that when the same Fasta is specified for compression, GTZ
	can read directly data from cache path, which is relatively fast.
	default cache path is /home/xuxl/.config/gtz, you can use this
	parameter to change it

	@ decompress : same as compress

--donot-pack-ref
	@ compress : this option is not recommended. By default, when
	compression uses Fasta, GTZ extracts data from the Fasta and then
	compresses it to the GTZ file, so that the resulting GTZ file is no
	longer required Fasta when decompressed. use this option or not, the
	compression rate has a low impact, but if you use this option, you
	need to specify the corresponding Fasta when decompressing

	@ decompress : do not use

--verify
	@ compress : after data compression, decompress the generated GTZ file
	again to ensure that the generated GTZ file must be decompressed.
	Usually it's not necessary, but if it's used for archiving, you can
	use this parameter.

	@ decompress : do not use

-l <number>,  --level <number>
	@ compress : [1-5] is fast compress mode, at present, 1-5 compression
	algorithm is same, here is for later expansion. 6 is default. [6-9] is
	best compress level, compression algorithm is also the same, here is
	for later expansion

	@ decompress : when the gtz in FASTQ format is decompressed to
        fastq.gz, the compression level of gz can be changed by -l/--level,
        ranging from 0-9, and default level is 4

-r <string>,  --rbin-path <string>
	@ compress : do not use

	@ decompress : use only for version less than 2.0.0, mainly for
	compatibility with older versions. when compression specifies the BIN
	file, You can use this parameter to specify the corresponding RBIN
	file or the directory in which the RBIN file is located to
	decompress.

    Once installed, bwa-gtz and bwa-opt-gtz executable file are placed in the current user's ~/.config/bwa-gtz directory, bwa-gtz's and bwa-opt-gtz's alias is added to ~/.bashrc

    Mode 2: First download the software and then install it.

    First download the software from -GTX.Zip Professional-.

    Commercially authorized users get from contact@gtz.io .

    Install for ALL USERS:

    sudo sh bwagtz_latest.run

    Once installed, bwa-gtz and bwa-opt-gtz executable file are placed in /usr/local/bwa-gtz directory, bwa-gtz's and bwa-opt-gtz'2 softlink is created to /usr/bin

    Only install for CURRENT USER:

    sh bwagtz_latest.run && source ~/.bashrc

    Once installed, bwa-gtz and bwa-opt-gtz executable file are placed in the current user's ~/.config/bwa-gtz directory, bwa-gtz's and bwa-opt-gtz's alias is added to ~/.bashrc

  • How to Use?

    GTX.Zip's support package for BWA includes bwa-gtz and bwa-opt-gtz, both of which are based on version 0.7.17 of bwa. Among them: the two versions have added the ability to read GTZ files directly, and the functions are completely consistent with the main code functions of bwa. bwa-opt-gtz also optimizes the structure of BWA lookup table, which can save more than one third of the time without changing the results of comparison. Due to some changes in the data structure of the lookup table, bwa-opt-gtz is incompatible with the index file data generated by the original bwa. According to the standard steps of bwa, first regenerate the index file, and then compare it with bwa-opt-gtz.

    The difference between bwa-gtz and bwa-opt-gtz is as follows:

    (1) bwa-gtz can directly use index produced by official website BWA, and its performance is consistent with official website BWA.

    (2) bwa-opt-gtz can not directly use the index produced by BWA on official website. index needs to be reproduced by bwa-opt-gtz, but its performance will be improved by 1/3 than that of BWA on official website.

    Use examples

    Step one: Skip this step if the decompression read.gtz does not require a reference file, otherwise specify the corresponding reference as follows

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/ (Suitable for gtx1.x.x version, specify the rbin file path for unzip, it's recommended but not required, when not specified gtz will download automatically, will consume a certain amount of time)

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/fasta/xxx.fa (Suitable for gtx2.x.x version, specifies the corresponding fasta file for decompression, must)

    Step two: execution comparison

    bwa-opt-gtz mem ref.fa read1.fq.gtz read2.fq.gtz -t 4 -o aln-pe.sam

    bwa-opt-gtz

    Step one: Remake index (must)

    bwa-opt-gtz index ref.fa

    Step two: execution comparison,if the decompression requires a specified reference file, refer to bwa-gtz using the example step one

    bwa-opt-gtz mem ref.fa read1.fq.gtz read2.fq.gtz -t 4 -o aln-pe.sam

  • performance

    In the case of sufficient server resources, the performance of bwa-opt-gtz is 1/3 better than that of official bwa. The following is a set of test data in the same environment (the number of specified threads is 4):

    Test command

    bwa mem ref.fa read1.fq.gz read2.fq.gz -t 4 -o aln-pe.sam

    bwa-gtz mem ref.fa read1.fq.gtz read2.fq.gtz -t 4 -o aln-pe.sam

    sudo sh bcl2fastq_gtz_latest.run

    After the installation is complete, you can perform bcl2fastq-gtz in any directory

  • How to Use?

    Gtx. Zip's support package for bcl2fastq, based on the v2.20.0.422 version of bcl2fastq.

    Default output gtz format, output gz format when command use --no-bgtzf-compression parameter

    Example 1. by default, the output result file is in gtz format, taking normal compression(The fastq file generated by bcl2fastq has not passed the quality control, so we can try to use ordinary compression, because the effect of ordinary compression may be better than that of reference genome compression for the fastq file with low quality, which can be selected after comparison)

    bcl2fastq-gtz -i ./data/BaseCalls -R ./outdir/run --interop-dir ./outdir/interop -o ./outdir/result --ignore-missing-bcls --ignore-missing-filter --ignore-missing-positions --barcode-mismatches 0 --use-bases-mask y*,i7,i7,y* >./outdir/bcl2fastq.log 2>&1 || touch bcl2fastq.err

    Example 2. output result file is gtz format, go high compression, specify Fasta file by --ref, also you can use --donot-pack-ref

    bcl2fastq-gtz -i ./data/BaseCalls -R ./outdir/run --interop-dir ./outdir/interop -o ./outdir/result --ignore-missing-bcls --ignore-missing-filter --ignore-missing-positions --barcode-mismatches 0 --use-bases-mask y*,i7,i7,y* --ref /GCF_000001405.37_GRCh38.p11_genomic.fna.gz >./outdir/bcl2fastq.log 2>&1 || touch bcl2fastq.err

    Example 3. output result file is gz format, use --no-bgtzf-compression parameter

    bcl2fastq-gtz -i ./data/BaseCalls -R ./outdir/run --interop-dir ./outdir/interop -o ./outdir/result --ignore-missing-bcls --ignore-missing-filter --ignore-missing-positions --barcode-mismatches 0 --use-bases-mask y*,i7,i7,y* --no-bgtzf-compression >./outdir/bcl2fastq.log 2>&1 || touch bcl2fastq.err

  • performance

    Test command

    bcl2fastq -i ./data/BaseCalls -R ./outdir/run --interop-dir ./outdir/interop -o ./outdir/result --ignore-missing-bcls --ignore-missing-filter --ignore-missing-positions --barcode-mismatches 0 --use-bases-mask y*,i7,i7,y* >./outdir/bcl2fastq.log 2>&1 || touch bcl2fastq.err

    Server configuration: 16 core CPU, 64G memory; file size: ./data/BaseCalls total size 40G

    Performance data

    bcl2fastq output destination folder total size 40G,bcl2fastq-gtz output destination folder total size 16G

3、STAR for GTZ (support gtz version < 2.x.x)

The official website STAR directly supports the GTZ format, after the installation of GTZ and STAR,

  • First step

    make the index file with STAR

    STAR --runMode genomeGenerate --genomeDir /path/to/genomeDir --genomeFastaFiles /path/xxx.fasta

    Detailed reference to the official website documents:

    https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR/blob/master/doc/STARmanual.pdf

  • Second Step

    perform the mapping operation. an example as follows:

    method one

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/

    STAR --genomeDir /path/to/genomeDir --readFilesIn read1.fq.gtz read2.fq.gtz --readFilesCommand gtz -c -d

    * In this example, the path of the RBIN file is specified by the environment variable GTZ_RBIN_PATH, where "export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/" is not necessary, but if you know the path of rbin, you are advised to specify it, which can speed up GTZ processing. Because when GTZ needs RBIN file and cannot find the RBIN file under the default path ~/.config/gtz, it will be downloaded through the network, and the download process will consume time.

    method two

    STAR --genomeDir /path/to/genomeDir --readFilesIn read1.fq.gtz read2.fq.gtz --readFilesCommand gtz -r /path/to/gtz_rbin_dir/ -c -d

    * In this example, the directory where the RBIN file is located is specified by -r, it's same as method one.

4、BOWTIE for GTZ (support gtz 2.x.x version)

  • How to Install?

    Mode 1: Install directly from the command line(recommended installation method)

    Install for ALL USERS:

    sudo curl -SL https://gtz.io/bowtiegtz_latest.run -o /tmp/bowtiegtz.run && sudo sh /tmp/bowtiegtz.run

  • How to Use?

    Gtx. Zip to fastp in the support package, based on FASTP version 0.19.5. Both input and output support GTZ and non-GTZ format files, and when the output file name ends with the .gtz, fastp-gtz compresses the output file GTZ

    1. Input is not GTZ format

    examples:

    Output GTZ Format:

    fastp-gtz -i in.fq -o out.fq.gtz --ref in.fq.species.fasta

    Output non-GTZ format:

    fastp-gtz -i in.fq -o out.fq

    For --ref use, refer to the following sections for instructions

    2. Input is GTZ format

    examples:

    Step one: Skip this step if the decompression read.gtz does not require a reference file, otherwise specify the corresponding reference as follows

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/ (Suitable for gtx1.x.x version, specify the rbin file path for unzip, it's recommended but not required, when not specified gtz will download automatically, will consume a certain amount of time)

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/fasta/xxx.fa (Suitable for gtx2.x.x version, specifies the corresponding fasta file for decompression, must)

    Step two: execution analysis

    fastp-gtz -i in.R1.fq.gtz -I in.R2.fq.gtz -o out.R1.fq.gtz -O out.R2.fq.gtz --ref in.fq.species.fasta

    Other ways to use:

    fastp-gtz -i in.R1.fq.gtz -I in.R2.fq.gtz -o out.R1.fq.gtz -O out.R2.fq.gtz --ref in.fq.species.fasta --donot_pack_ref --cache_path /cache/path/

    Command Description:

    1. --ref
    This parameter is recommended to specify, specifies Fasta corresponding to the compressed file
    
    1. --donot_pack_ref
    if use this parameter,  it needs to specify the reference file when unzips, here is in.fq.species.fasta
    
    1. --cache_path
    The default cache path is ~/.config/gtz, you can also use this to specify other path
    
    How it works:

    When entered as a GTZ file, FASTP-GTZ can be briefly described as four procedures:

      (A) read into In.gtz-> (B) unzip into In.fq-> (C) processing Data-> (D) compressed into IN.GTZ
    

    Note

    1) Process B
     i. If the in.gtz in process A is the version of the high-multiplier compression file of gtz 1.x.x, then Process B requires the corresponding rbin file, then there are two ways to work:
     
     Mode one: 
         You have the Rbin file locally and specify the path of the file with the following environment variables: 
         
         export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin
         Then the program will complete step b using the local Rbin file
     Mode two:
         You do not have the Rbin file locally, or you do not specify it through an environment variable, in which case the program automatically downloads the rbin from the network, and of course the process consumes a certain amount of time
         
    ii. If the in.gtz in process A is a high-multiplier compressed file version of gtz 2.x.x, then Process B also works in two ways:
    
    Mode one:
    	In.gtz is generated using --donot-pack-ref, we must specify the fasta file which is used when compression by the following environment variables:
      
      export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/fasta/xxx.fa
    Mode two:
    	in.gtz generation is not used -- donot-pack-ref, then procedure B does not need additional parameters
    
    2) Process C
      fastp-gtz Analysis Data
    
    3) Process D
     Mode one: 
         No FASTA file is specified, out.R1.fq.gtz and out.R2.fq.gtz are generated by ordinary compression
     Mode two:
         FASTA file is specified by --ref, out.R1.fq.gtz and out.R2.fq.gtz are generated by High-ratio compressioncompression directly

    For installation you can (recommended)

    sudo curl -SL https://gtz.io/wtdbg2_gtz_latest.run -o /tmp/wtdbg2_gtz_latest.run && sudo sh /tmp/wtdbg2_gtz_latest.run

    or

    download installation files:-GTX.Zip wtdbg2-gtz-,then install

    sudo sh wtdbg2_gtz_latest.run

    After the installation is complete, you can perform wtdbg2-gtz in any directory

    • How to Use?

    After installation, wtdbg2-gtz will be generated.

    Use examples

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/

    wtdbg2-gtz -x rs -g 4.6m -t 16 -i wtdbg2_test.fastq.gtz -fo prefix

    wtpoa-cns -t 16 -i prefix.ctg.lay.gz -fo prefix.ctg.fa

    * In this example, the path of the RBIN file is specified by the environment variable GTZ_RBIN_PATH, where "export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/" is not necessary, but if you know the path of rbin, you are advised to specify it, which can speed up the processing of wtdbg2-gtz. Because when wtdbg2-gtz needs RBIN file and cannot find the RBIN file under the default path ~/.config/gtz, it will be downloaded through the network, which will consume time.

13、BWA-MEM2 for GTZ (support gtz version 3.0.1)

  • How to Install?

    Mode one: Install to the current user, no sudo permissions required

    For installation you can (recommended)

    curl -SL https://gtz.io/bwamem2-gtz_latest.run -o /tmp/bwamem2gtz.run && sh /tmp/bwamem2gtz.run

    After the first installation, you need to perform a source ~/.bashrc or exit to log back in, and then you can execute bwa-mem2-gtz in any directory

    or

    download installation files:-GTX.Zip bwa-mem2-gtz-,then install

    sh bwamem2-gtz_latest.run

    Similarly, after the first installation, you need to perform a source ~/.bashrc or exit and log back in again

    Mode two: Install to all users, need sudo permissions

    For installation you can (recommended)

    sudo curl -SL https://gtz.io/bwamem2-gtz_latest.run -o /tmp/bwamem2gtz.run && sh /tmp/bwamem2gtz.run

    or

    download installation files:-GTX.Zip bwa-mem2-gtz-,then install

    sudo sh bwamem2-gtz_latest.run

    After the installation is complete, you can perform bwa-mem2-gtz in any directory

    • How to Use?

    GTX.Zip support package for bwa-mem2 is based on release 2.1 of bwa-mem2.

    It is used in the same way as the original bwa-mem2, except that the compressed file in GTZ format is added

    Step 1: make index

    bwa-mem2-gtz index ref.fasta

    Step 2: do mapping

    In case 1, the input file is fq/fq.gz Format, direct mapping

    bwa-mem2-gtz mem ref.fasta read.fq.gz -t 20 > out.sam

    In case 2, the input file is in GTZ format

    Step one: Skip this step if the decompression read.gtz does not require a reference file, otherwise specify the corresponding reference as follows

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/rbin/ (Suitable for gtx1.x.x version, specify the rbin file path for unzip, it's recommended but not required, when not specified gtz will download automatically, will consume a certain amount of time)

    export GTZ_RBIN_PATH=/path/fasta/xxx.fa (Suitable for gtz3.0.1 version, specifies the corresponding fasta file for decompression, must)

    Step two: do mapping

    bwa-mem2-gtz mem ref.fasta read.gtz -t 20 > out.sam

    set the decompression thread to 4 of read.gtz to execute mapping (the default decompression thread is 1 if it is not set)

    export GTZ_CONCURRENC=4 && bwa-mem2-gtz mem ref.fasta read.gtz -t 20 > out.sam
