+map, either uniquely or to more than one location, against each of your
+specified reference genomes.  The user should therefore be able to identify a
+clean sequencing experiment in which the overwhelming majority of reads are

Hi M=C4=83d=C4=83lin,

> * gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm (fast-screen): New variable.

I don=E2=80=99t think this package actually produces a usable output.

Frustratingly, this is a Perl script which calls out to tools that
happen to be on the user=E2=80=99s PATH, such as Bismark (which is written =
in
the same style, so it may be enlightening to read its package
definition), bwa, or bowtie.

Simply copying the script to the store won=E2=80=99t yield a usable tool I=
=E2=80=99m
afraid.

For Bismark I talked to the authors in the past in the hopes of
simplifying configuration at build time, but they were not interested in
changing the tool to accomodate any other case than the one Bismark was
designed for: to be unpacked in an already suitable environment.

This means that we can=E2=80=99t count on upstream to change this and patch=
 the
source file by ourselves.  One way is to patch every invocation of an
external command; another is to wrap the script itself (with
=E2=80=9Cwrap-script=E2=80=9D) in PATH and PERL5PATH to provide a suitable =
environment
at runtime.  (Wrapping PERL5PATH may be necessary anyway to ensure that
Perl can find the required modules.)

Good luck!
