[bug#30658] [PATCH 0/4] Add FastQC

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

this patch adds fastqc, a very popular bioinformatics tool.

This has been in my staging repo for a very long time because it is written in
Java and bundled pre-built third-party jars.  I finally managed to build the
last few dependencies from source.  These java-cisd-* packages were really not
easy to build and you can tell by how complicated they are.

Both java-cisd-base and java-cisd-jhdf5 include native libraries, which I'm
building from the included C sources.  The packages include tests, but unlike
other Java packages these tests are in the form of an application that needs
to be executed.  Hence the extra build phase after "check" to actually run the
tests.

FastQC seems to work, but I haven't performed any comprehensive tests yet.

Ricardo Wurmus (4):
  gnu: Add java-cisd-base.
  gnu: Add java-cisd-args4j.
  gnu: Add java-cisd-jhdf5.
  gnu: Add fastqc.

+     "FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control
+checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing
+pipelines.  It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to
+give a quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which
+you should be aware before doing any further analysis.
+
+The main functions of FastQC are:
+
+@itemize
+@item Import of data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files (any variant);
+@item Providing a quick overview to tell you in which areas there may
+  be problems;
+@item Summary graphs and tables to quickly assess your data;
+@item Export of results to an HTML based permanent report;
+@item Offline operation to allow automated generation of reports
+  without running the interactive application.
