[Biojava-dev] 23andMe Personal Genome API

[Michael Heuer]

Hello,

There isn't much in biojava3 dealing with variation data; that has
been more the domain of other projects such as

Picard  (Apache v2, MIT licenses)
http://picard.sourceforge.net/

GATK (troublesome license)
http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/

etc.


I wrote a client library for the 23andMe Personal Genome API (not
affiliated, just curious)

https://api.23andme.com/docs/reference/

hosted here temporarily

https://github.com/heuermh/personal-genome-client  (LGPL version 3 or later)

and was wondering if it would make sense to contribute this to
biojava3.  There isn't a very rich data model of variation in the
client classes and we don't have any in biojava3 either.  I am also
working on this project

https://code.google.com/p/genotype-list/

which has a slightly better model, but is really only applicable for
traditional allele nomenclature-based genotypes (e.g. HLA, KIR).

Please let me know what you think.
