Genomics-opinionated disk-spilling sort for FASTQ/FASTA records.

spillover-bio builds on the generic spillover crate to provide a ready-to-use external sorter for sequence records. It supplies genomics-specific sort keys, sequence-focused dedup strategies on sorted output, and uses the dryice format for temporary on-disk storage.

spillover-bio

spillover-bio is a genomics-focused sorting crate built on top of spillover .

It provides a ready-to-use disk-spilling sort pipeline for FASTQ/FASTA-style sequence records, with practical defaults for:

• sequence-aware sort orders (including quality tie-breaking)
• dryice-backed temporary storage codecs
• keyed merge acceleration for large spill-heavy workloads
• optional adjacent deduplication strategies
