  Description : gene prediction in eukaryotic genomes

AUGUSTUS is a software for gene prediction in eukaryotic genomic sequences
that is based on a generalized hidden Markov model, which is a probabilistic
model of a sequence and its gene structure. After learning gene structures
from a reference annotation, AUGUSTUS uses the HMM to recognize genes in a new
sequence and annotates it with the regions of identified genes. External hints,
e.g. from RNA sequencing, EST or protein alignments etc. can be used to guide
and improve the gene finding process. The result is the set of most likely gene
structures that comply with all given user constraints, if such gene
structures exist.
AUGUSTUS already includes prebuilt HMMs for many species, as well as scripts
to train custom models using annotated genomes.

This package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Med
Packaging Team.



Bug#819363: ITP: r-cran-shiny -- GNU R web application framework

2016-03-27 Thread Andreas Tille
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tille 

* Package name: r-cran-shiny
  Version : 0.13.1
  Upstream Author : Winston Chang  and others
* URL : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/shiny/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description : GNU R web application framework
 Makes it incredibly easy to build interactive web applications with R.
 Automatic "reactive" binding between inputs and outputs and extensive
 pre-built widgets make it possible to build beautiful, responsive, and
 powerful applications with minimal effort.


Remark: This package is part of a pyramid of dependencies required for
the final target r-cran-treescape and will be maintained by the Debian
Med team at

Bug#819389: ITP: r-cran-bh -- GNU R package with Boost headers

2016-03-27 Thread Dirk Eddelbuettel

Package: wnpp
Owner: Dirk Eddelbuettel 
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: r-cran-bh
  Version : 1.60.0-1-1
  Upstream Author : Jay Emerson and Dirk Eddelbuettel
* URL or Web page : http://cloud.r-project.org/package=BH
* License : BSL-1.0
  Description : GNU R package with Boost header

This package (for which I upstream as well) has become a build dependency for
a number of CRAN packages, and hence Andreas Tille asked me to package this.

There is of course overlap with liboost-all-dev and its components. BH is
however very useful in the R and CRAN world as it provides a uniform layer of
Boost headers there (with minimal patching; I have to shorten one path name).
So in the interest of having Debian behave like other systems it makes sense
to package it here. We are also currently ahead of Debian packaging which is
still at Boost 1.58.0.

Regards,  Dirk

Bug#819392: ITP: geg -- GTK+ Equation Grapher

2016-03-27 Thread Georges Khaznadar
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Georges Khaznadar 

* Package name: geg
  Version : 2.0.2
  Upstream Authors: 1998 David Bryant 
2009-2015 Barry deFreese 
2016 Jean-Pierre Demailly 
* URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/sf-
xpaint/files/geg/geg-2.0.2.tar.bz2/download
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : GTK+ Equation Grapher

 geg is a very simple utility for parsing and plotting 2D-functions, eg
 f(x) = 3 + sin(x), and much more complicated functions of course.
 It is written with GTK+ and provides a neat, configurable user interface.

 geg is not the only package usable to plot 2d functions,
 but it is simpler to use, and very lightweight: it can be
 preferred for low-end machines, and in any case when simplicity
 of use is the main constraint.

 This package has been part of Debian woody, and removed in
 year 2009 due to lack of maintenance, see
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515284

 Now it is maintained upstream by Jean-Pierre Demailly who
 is a reliable friend, and I shall make all updates when
 necessary. This package is now in a stable state.
