Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.
cli tool to identify networks of individuals who share IBD segments overlapping loci of interest
This repository contains the source code for the tool DRIVE (Distant Relatedness for Identification and Variant Evaluation) is a novel approach to IBD-based genotype inference used to identify shared chromosomal segments in dense genetic arrays. DRIVE implements a random walk algorithm that identifies clusters of individuals who pairwise share an IBD segment overlapping a locus of interest. This tool was developed in python by the Below Lab at Vanderbilt University. The documentation for how to use this tool can be found here DRIVE documentation
DRIVE is available on PYPI and can easily be installed using the following command:
pip install drive-ibd
It is recommended to install DRIVE within a virtual environment such as venv, or conda. More information about this process can be found within the documentation.
If the user wishes to develop DRIVE or install the program from source then they can clone the repository. This process is described under the section called "Github Installation" in the documentation.
