Add sexassign to bioconda?

[jfy133]

Hi there,

I am one of the developers of nf-core/eager.

The current sex determination step of this aDNA focused genomics pipeline is very highly specific to humans, and is not easily 'portable' to other species. Something that sexassign seems to be more amenable to.

I was wondering if you had considered/would be interested in adding sexassign to bioconda, which would automatically generate docker/singularity containers (via biocontainers.pro) - which would allow us to add it to eager?

Cheers,

Hi @jfy133. Thanks for your interest! This project probably needs some polishing to make it into a proper package. I have some related code here (which is also not pypi/conda ready). I don't have the time right now to work on this, but if you think sexassign.py is useful in its current state, then I'd be happy for you to put it on bioconda.

Hi Graham,

Ok no worries. I'm currently re-factoring eager anyway, so when I get to that point of the pipeline I can consider making a sexassign bioconda recipe for the current version anyway. It should be straightforward to update in the future if you polish it up. Thanks!
