As reported by Menachem Fromer: a critical bug in AFCalcResult:
Specifically, the implementation:
public boolean isPolymorphic(final Allele allele, final double log10minPNonRef) {
return getLog10PosteriorOfAFGt0ForAllele(allele) >= log10minPNonRef;
}
seems incorrect and should probably be:
getLog10PosteriorOfAFEq0ForAllele(allele) <= log10minPNonRef
The issue here is that the 30 represents a Phred-scaled probability of *error* and it's currently being compared to a log probability of *non-error*.
Instead, we need to require that our probability of error be less than the error threshold.
This bug has only a minor impact on the calls -- hardly any sites change -- which is good. But the inverted logic effects multi-allelic sites significantly. Basically you only hit this logic with multiple alleles, and in that case it'\s including extra alt alleles incorrectly, and throwing out good ones.
Change was to create a new function that properly handles thresholds that are PhredScaled quality scores:
/**
* Same as #isPolymorphic but takes a phred-scaled quality score as input
*/
public boolean isPolymorphicPhredScaledQual(final Allele allele, final double minPNonRefPhredScaledQual) {
if ( minPNonRefPhredScaledQual < 0 ) throw new IllegalArgumentException("phredScaledQual " + minPNonRefPhredScaledQual + " < 0 ");
final double log10Threshold = Math.log10(QualityUtils.qualToProb(minPNonRefPhredScaledQual));
return isPolymorphic(allele, log10Threshold);
}
ReduceReads now co-reduces bams if they're passed in toghether with multiple -I. Co-reduction forces every variant region in one sample to be a variant region in all samples.
Also:
* Added integrationtest for co-reduction
* Fixed bug with new no-recalculation implementation of the marksites object where the last object wasn't being removed after finalizing a variant region (updated MD5's accordingly)
DEV-200 #resolve #time 8m
-- The logic for determining active regions was a bit broken in the HC when intervals were used in the system
-- TraverseActiveRegions now uses the AllLocus view, since we always want to see all reference sites, not just those covered. Simplifies logic of TAR
-- Non-overlapping intervals are always treated as separate objects for determing active / inactive state. This means that each exon will stand on its own when deciding if it should be active or inactive
-- Misc. cleanup, docs of some TAR infrastructure to make it safer and easier to debug in the future.
-- Committing the SingleExomeCalling script that I used to find this problem, and will continue to use in evaluating calling of a single exome with the HC
-- Make sure to get all of the reads into the set of potentially active reads, even for genomic locations that themselves don't overlap the engine intervals but may have reads that overlap the regions
-- Remove excessively expensive calls to check bases are upper cased in ReferenceContext
-- Update md5s after a lot of manual review and discussion with Ryan
