genozip
A modern compressor for genomic files (FASTQ, SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF, FASTA, GFF/GTF/GVF, 23andMe...), up to 5x better than gzip and faster too (by divonlan)

We're wasting money by only supporting gzip for raw DNA files
The Zarr format is used in some genomics workflows (see https://github.com/zarr-developers/community/issues/19) and supports a wide range of modern compressors (e.g. Zstd, Zlib, BZ2, LZMA, ZFPY, Blosc, as well as many filters.)
What are some alternatives?
