Dear mentors, I have prepared debian packages for bioinformatic software. The two first are command line tools to compare biological sequences, and the third is a GUI to viusalise the comparisons as a phylogenetic tree.
Here is a link to the ITPs, which contain detailed descriptions. Also, the packages are listed by order of complexity. http://bugs.debian.org/365344 : kalign http://bugs.debian.org/361682 : dialign http://bugs.debian.org/352506 : treeviewx All three packages build well on ppc, ppc64 and i386, and are already uploaded on mentors.debian.net and on Alioth (http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/). I intend to package more software in this field (multiple sequence alignment), in particular because there is a new tool, "m-coffee", which pools the result of alignments from different programs, to merge them into a higher-quality alignment. Although programs such as kalign are trivial to install, doing this ten times starts to become tedious... More generally, I would like to make Debian a platform of choice for bionformatics and computational biology, and I started by focusing on multiple sequence alignment.
