+# These packages depend on ncbi-tools which is being removed from ::gentoo:
+# Last release 10 years ago, EOL upstream, no other distro packages this
+# anymore, tons of bugs. Revdeps are unmaintained too and out of date.
+# Bug #798015, removal in 30 days.
+# Perhaps these packages work with the newer ncbi-tools++? If anyone is 
actively
+# using these packages please open a bug report
