How can video compression algorithms help genome sequencing

How can we learn from video compression algorithms to help us make use of this information to improve gene detection algorithms of the genome sequencing information.

A video compression algorithm detect the difference between one for frame to another similarly we can detect the difference between one gene sequence to another using the similar techniques.

Video compression algorithms look for spatial and temporal redundancies

Compared to this gene sequencing needs only spatial redundancy detection.

Much more dedicated hardware is available for video compression than available for gene sequencing.

By adopting the same kind of algorithms bioinformatic researchers can improve their ability to detect mutations in genes.
