[Scitech] Review Request: Ray -- Parallel genome assemblies for parallel DNA sequencing

[Sébastien Boisvert]

Dear members of the Fedora Science and Technology Special Interest Group,

I packaged Ray so that it can be included in Fedora as a
scientific and engineering package (Biology and bioinformatics software).

The name of the software is Ray and it is licensed under the GPLv3.

Description:

Ray is a parallel software that computes de novo genome assemblies with
next-generation sequencing data.
Ray is written in C++ and can run in parallel on numerous interconnected
computers using the message-passing interface (MPI) standard.
Included:
  - Ray de novo assembly of single genomes
  - Ray Méta de novo assembly of metagenomes
  - Ray Communities microbe abundance + taxonomic profiling
  - Ray Ontologies gene ontology profiling


Please review these at your convenience:

Let me know what I need to change.

Also, do I need to open an account to become a package collection maintainer ?


Thanks,



                 Sébastien
