Detailed explanation-1: -The most successful compressors are XM and GeCo. For eukaryotes XM is slightly better in compression ratio, though for sequences larger than 100 MB its computational requirements are impractical.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lossy compression is most commonly used to compress multimedia data (audio, video, and images), especially in applications such as streaming media and internet telephony. By contrast, lossless compression is typically required for text and data files, such as bank records and text articles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Files types RAW, BMP and PNG are all forms of lossless compression. They keep their quality at the expense of huge storage space. In audio lossy files are MP3, MP4 and OGG. Lossless files are WAV, FLAC and ALAC (used by itunes).
