Re: [MoM] Re: Request to contribute to DebianMed and be part of MoM
Hello Andreas,
Just to extend on from the previous email, the "MindTheGap" project on GitHub (part of GATB)[1] has caught my attention as it seems really interesting. This does various detection and assembly of DNA insertion variants which fits in to the life science criteria of things. I have read through the licensing file and briefly through some src files. I am also unable to find any packaged form of this project, nor does this seem to exist on salsa.debian.org. Would you say this is feasible to package?
Many thanks for your time,
Shayan Doust
