We provide a compression-based method that explores metagenomic classification and recursive filtering by similarity for sorting the order of the reads and increase the overall compression. Our main objective is to decrease the size of FASTQ files from metagenomics, without loss of information, while discarding only the information associated to the order of the reads.
