Bug#996921: RFA: unifrac

[Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-med@lists.debian.org

Hi,

I currently have no interest in maintaining unifrac, which
is a bit cumbersome to maintain (the new update being an example)
and it doesn't motivate me enough to keep maintaining it.

Should you feel motivated, feel free to adopt this one.

Package Description:

 ---  High-performance phylogenetic diversity calculations ---
 The de facto repository for high-performance phylogenetic diversity
 calculations. The methods in this repository are based on an
 implementation of the Strided State UniFrac algorithm which is faster,
 and uses less memory than Fast UniFrac. Strided State UniFrac supports
 Unweighted UniFrac, Weighted UniFrac, Generalized UniFrac, Variance
 Adjusted UniFrac and meta UniFrac. This repository also includes Stacked
 Faith (manuscript in preparation), a method for calculating Faith's PD
 that is faster and uses less memory than the Fast UniFrac-based
 reference implementation.
