The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Bioinformatics Software Developer Tools / Infrastructure Ideas
If I was pitching more at graduate level I'd say write the container format only and call the htscodecs reference implementations for the compression (just the custom codecs, the regular ones GZIP, LZMA and BZ2 algorithms will already have implementations in most languages). That would probably be a masters thesis (6 months) level project with proper supervision.
