Gentoo is a GNU/Linux distribution that is highly configurable. Detailed here are ebuilds for some software that I have written in the past.
rsync servers by only syncing one and sharing portage.emergeed clean./etc/fstab.Over time I've collected various bits of hardware and have with varying degrees of success managed to get them working under Gentoo.
I've written a few ebuilds for various packages over time, nothing fancy, but they're available below.
fugue : Haplotype reconstruction in individuals and families.merlin : Powerful parametric and non-parametric linkage analysis software (includes pedstats).qtdt : Quantiative trait association and linkage tests in nuclear families.snphap : Haplotype reconstruction via EM-algorithm.unphased : Haplotype reconstruction, association and linkage testing in populations and families.
Alternatively you can install the genetics set which includes all of the above and a definition of the genetics set for simple emerging.
A bundle of all of these builds is available sci-biology/genetics. Save and extract this to your local overlay (e.g. /usr/local/porage/).
