* Package name : ncbi-vdb Version : 2.7.0 Upstream Author : National Center for Biotechnology Information * URL : https://github.com/ncbi/ncbi-vdb * License : public domain Programming Lang: C Description : libraries for using data in the INSDC Sequence Read Archives NGS is a new, domain-specific API for accessing reads, alignments and pileups produced from Next Generation Sequencing. The API itself is independent from any particular back-end implementation, and supports use of multiple back-ends simultaneously. It also provides a library for building new back-end "engines". The engine for accessing SRA data is contained within the sister repository ncbi-vdb. . The API is currently expressed in C++, Java and Python languages. The design makes it possible to maintain a high degree of similarity between the code in one language and code in another - especially between C++ and Java. Remark: This library is needed to upgrade sra-sdk. It will be maintained by the Debian Med team at https://github.com/ncbi/ncbi-vdb. Technical remark: Since ncbi-vdb as well as sra-sdk have the worst self-made build system I've seen in my Debian work I'm happy to get it working at least somehow together. There is no specific for Python or Jave added to this package currently.
