-Switch back to the old implementation, if needed, with --use_legacy_downsampler
-LocusIteratorByStateExperimental becomes the new LocusIteratorByState, and
the original LocusIteratorByState becomes LegacyLocusIteratorByState
-Similarly, the ExperimentalReadShardBalancer becomes the new ReadShardBalancer,
with the old one renamed to LegacyReadShardBalancer
-Performance improvements: locus traversals used to be 20% slower in the new
downsampling implementation, now they are roughly the same speed.
-Tests show a very high level of concordance with UG calls from the previous
implementation, with some new calls and edge cases that still require more examination.
-With the new implementation, can now use -dcov with ReadWalkers to set a limit
on the max # of reads per alignment start position per sample. Appropriate value
for ReadWalker dcov may be in the single digits for some tools, but this too
requires more investigation.
-- The NanoSchedule timing code (in NSRuntimeProfile) was crazy expensive, but never showed up in the profilers. Removed all of the timing code from the NanoScheduler, the NSRuntimeProfile itself, and updated the unit tests.
-- For tools that largely pass through data quickly, this change reduces runtimes by as much as 10x. For the RealignerTargetCreator example, the runtime before this commit was 3 hours, and after is 30 minutes (6x improvement).
-- Took this opportunity to improve the GATK ProgressMeter. NotifyOfProgress now just keeps track of the maximum position seen, and a separate daemon thread ProgressMeterDaemon periodically wakes up and prints the current progress. This removes all inner loop calls to the GATK timers.
-- The history of the bug started here: http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/discussion/comment/2402#Comment_2402
-- The previous nanoscheduler would deadlock in the case where an Error, not an Exception, was thrown. Errors, like out of memory, would cause the whole system to die. This bugfix resolves that issue
The check is performed by a Read Transformer that samples (currently set to once
every 1000 reads so that we don't hurt overall GATK performance) from the input
reads and checks to make sure that none of the base quals is too high (> Q60). If
we encounter such a base then we fail with a User Error.
* Can be over-ridden with --allow_potentially_misencoded_quality_scores.
* Also, the user can choose to fix his quals on the fly (presumably using PrintReads
to write out a fixed bam) with the --fix_misencoded_quality_scores argument.
Added unit tests.
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);
}
