Bug#776539: RFS: scythe/0.994-1 [ITP] -- Bayesian adaptor trimmer for sequencing reads



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "scythe"

* Package name    : scythe
  Version         : 0.994-1
  Upstream Author : Vince Buffalo
* URL             : https://github.com/vsbuffalo/scythe
* License         : Expat
  Section         : science

It builds these binary packages:

   scythe     - Bayesian adaptor trimmer for sequencing reads

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

   http://mentors.debian.net/package/scythe


Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

   dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scythe/scythe_0.994-1.dsc


I'm new to Debian packaging/development, and I'd like to start by
packaging a useful piece of software for those using Debian in
computational biology.

Scythe uses a Naïve Bayesian matching algorithm to trim contaminants
from sequencing reads. It is more accurate than other similar packages
due to the probabilistic matching algorithm that it uses, which accounts
for features of common DNA sequencing platforms.

I have previously contributed code to scythe, and I believe I am
sufficiently familiar with its development and code base to maintain
this package.

I've made the package, and uploaded it to mentors.debian.net (see above
dget/webpage links).

Please let me know how I can improve!

Thanks,
Kevin Murray
