Compression rates of microbial genomes are associated with genome size and base composition

Abstract Background To what degree a string of symbols can be compressed reveals important details about its complexity. For instance, strings that are not compressible are random and carry a low information potential while the opposite is true for highly compressible strings. We explore to what ext...
