Bug#778300: ITP: transdecoder -- find coding regions within transcripts

  Description     : find coding regions within transcripts

 TransDecoder identifies candidate coding regions within transcript sequences,
 such as those generated by de novo RNA-Seq transcript assembly using Trinity,
 or constructed based on RNA-Seq alignments to the genome using Tophat and
 Cufflinks.
 .
 TransDecoder identifies likely coding sequences based on the following
 criteria:
 .
 a minimum length open reading frame (ORF) is found in a transcript sequence
 .
 a log-likelihood score similar to what is computed by the GeneID software is
 > 0.
 .
 the above coding score is greatest when the ORF is scored in the 1st reading
 frame as compared to scores in the other 5 reading frames.
 .
 if a candidate ORF is found fully encapsulated by the coordinates of another
 candidate ORF, the longer one is reported. However, a single transcript can
 report multiple ORFs (allowing for operons, chimeras, etc).
 .
 optional the putative peptide has a match to a Pfam domain above the noise
 cutoff score.

transdecoder is a dependency of trinityrnaseq. It will be team maintained by
myself and the Debian Med team.
