-- Previously, on the fly indices didn't have dictionary set on the fly, so the GATK would read, add dictionary, and rewrite the index. This is now fixed, so that the on the fly index contains the reference dictionary when first written, avoiding the unnecessary read and write
-- Added a GenomeAnalysisEngine and Walker function called getMasterSequenceDictionary() that fetches the reference sequence dictionary. This can be used conveniently everywhere, and is what's written into the Tribble index
-- Refactored tribble index utilities from RMDTrackBuilder into IndexDictionaryUtils
-- VCFWriter now requires the master sequence dictionary
-- Updated walkers that create VCFWriters to provide the master sequence dictionary
-- Allowed values for RodBinding<T> are displayed in the GATKDocs
-- Longest name up to 30 characters is chosen for main argument list (suggested by Ryan/Mauricio)
-- Features are listed in alphabetical order
-- Moved useful getParameterizedType() function to JVMUtils
-- Tests of these features in the Documentation Test
-- refdata/features now in utils/codecs with the other codecs
-- Deleted dbsnpHelper. rsID function now in VCFutils. Remaining code either deleted or put into VariantContextAdaptors
-- Many associated import updates due to code move
-- RefSeqCodec bug: getFeatureClass() returned RefSeqCodec.class, not RefSeqFeature.class. Really should change this in Tribble to require Class<T extends Feature> to get compile time type checking
-- Better error messages that actually list the available tribble types, when there's a type error
New class handles (vastly more cleanly) the db of tribble codecs, features, and names for use throughout the GATK.
Added SelfScopingFeatureCodec interface that allows a FeatureCodec to examine a file and determine if the file can be parsed. This is the first step towards allowing the GATK to dynamically determine the type of a RodBinding.
-- Cleaning up old interface to RMDT, docs and contracts added
-- Proper type checking for RodBinding for cases where the Tribble type isn't found or is the wrong type
-- support for explicit naming of bindings (-X:name,type x)
-- support for automatic naming of bindings in lists (-X:vcf foo.vcf -X:vcf bar.vcf will generate internal names X and X2)
-- ParserEngineUnitTest expanded to cover all of the Rodbinding cases
-- RodBindingUnitTest tests all of the low-level accessors
-- Parsing engine throws UserExceptions when bad bindings are provided on the command line
This was no longer working properly given that DBSNP indels needed to be moved around. The adaptor system is being refactored and you will need to convert files from X -> VCF for many tools to work.
RodBinding no longer duplicates the get() methods in RMDT. This is just an object now that connects the command line system to the RMDT.
Updated programs to use new style
Added UnitTests for the RodBinding accessors.
You know have to provide an explicit list of RODRecordLists upfront to the constructor. RefMetaDataTracker is now immutable. Changes in engine to incorporate these differences
Extensive UnitTests for RefMetaDataTracker now.
On the path towards converging getVariantContext() and getValues() in tracker so that we can have a single approach to get values from RODs with the new RodBinding() types
It's no longer possible to provided allowed types, as this was a very rarely used feature in the engine. These get methods have been removed and local uses replaced with tests directly in their code. This simplified the RefMetaDataTracker significantly
VariantContextRodBinding now forwards along all of the RefMetaDataTracker methods, so it is possible to create a full equivalent VariantContextRodBinding now as a walker field variable.
All walkers updated to the new RefMetaDataTracker function call style
Renamed many functions to more clearly state what they are actually doing
Removed unnecessary / unused functionality, reducing interface complexity
Updated all uses of this code in GATK
Added generic, type-safe accessors to RefMetaDataTracker such as public <T> List<T> getValues(final String name, Class<T> clazz)
Added standard refMetaDataTracker accessors to RodBinding, so you can do everything you can for generic rods with the tracker directly with with the RodBinding
Removing unused files RODRecordIterator, ReferenceOrderedData, QueryableTrack, RMDTrackCreationException, GATKFeatureIterator, ReferenceOrderedDataUnitTest
Refactored dbSNP and refseq utilities to be closer to the other files implementing these features
Added: TableToVCF. Kind of a longer-term project, but there are lots of variant calls available in a weird tabular format. I used this to convert Ju Et Al small indels to VCF. I'll check against the 1000G ASN superpopulation calls to see if we see a good amount of recapitulation, and if so, i'll put them in unvalidated comparisons. Minor chances to the TableCodec and TableFeatures to allow for this (the codec can sometimes drop a column, and the feature now allows you to grab on to its header).
