[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#858947: ITP: plink2 -- whole-genome association analysis toolset

[Dylan]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Debian Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packaging at lists.alioth.debian.org>

Package name: plink2
URL: https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/2.0/
License: GPL3+
Description: whole-genome association analysis toolset
 plink expects as input the data from SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)
 chips of many individuals and their phenotypical description of a disease.
 It finds associations of single or pairs of DNA variations with a phenotype
 and can retrieve SNP annotation from an online source.
 .
 SNPs can evaluated individually or as pairs for their association with the
 disease phenotypes. The joint investigation of copy number variations is
 supported. A variety of statistical tests have been implemented.
 .
 plink2 is a comprehensive update of plink 1.07 and plink 1.9 with new
algorithms
 and new methods, faster and less memory consumer than the first plink.


Plink 2 breaks many things against plink 1.07 and plink 1.9 so it will
need a new
separate package. Plink 2 is currently in alpha stage but it should be great to
already have a package.
