#tabix — Public Fediverse posts

@kaasbaas #wikipedia (English language) is only ~22GB of #bzip2 compressed #xml (uncompressed size is ~86GB).
is it possible to access it without decompression? I guess #random #access to .xml.bz2 should be a solved problem, right?
we're routinely using gzip with random access in #bioinformatics ie via #samtools or #tabix

EDIT:
Wikipedia xml.bz2 does support random access for multistream version. does @kiwix or any other wiki reader support it? I couldn't find info on their website...

I'm wondering if anybody has tried (considered even) #tabix indexing #PAF files. These files are used for #ComparativeGenomics, so you'd need two indexes, one on the reference and one on the query. Conceptually it makes sense to me but I've not seen it done anywhere.
