-Running the GATK with the -et NO_ET or -et STDOUT options now
requires a key issued by us. Our reasons for doing this, and the
procedure for our users to request keys, are documented here:
http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsa/wiki/index.php/Phone_home
-A GATK user key is an email address plus a cryptographic signature
signed using our private key, all wrapped in a GZIP container.
User keys are validated using the public key we now distribute with
the GATK. Our private key is kept in a secure location.
-Keys are cryptographically secure in that valid keys definitely
came from us and keys cannot be fabricated, however keys are not
"copy-protected" in any way.
-Includes private, standalone utilities to create a new GATK user key
(GenerateGATKUserKey) and to create a new master public/private key
pair (GenerateKeyPair). Usage of these tools will be documented on
the internal wiki shortly.
-Comprehensive unit/integration tests, including tests to ensure the
continued integrity of the GATK master public/private key pair.
-Generation of new user keys and the new unit/integration tests both
require access to the GATK private key, which can only be read by
members of the group "gsagit".
-- use the general function type.convert from read.table to automagically convert the string data to booleans, factors, and numeric types as appropriate. Vastly better than the previous behavior which only worked for numerics, in some cases.
-- Includes paired end status (T/F)
-- Includes count of reads used in calculation
-- Includes simple read type (2x76 for example)
-- Better handling of insert size, read length when there's no data, or the data isn't paired end by emitting NA not 0
-- ReadGroupProperties: Emits a GATKReport containing read group, sample, library, platform, center, median insert size and median read length for each read group in every BAM file.
-- Median tool that collects up to a given maximum number of elements and returns the median of the elements.
-- Unit and integration tests for everything.
-- Making name of TestProvider protected so subclasses and override name more easily
* All contexts with 'N' bases are now collapsed as uninformative
* Context size is now represented internally as a BitSet but output as a dna string
* Temporarily disabled sorted outputs because of null objects
* Turns DNA sequences (for context covariates) into bit sets for maximum compression
* Allows variable context size representation guaranteeing uniqueness.
* Works with long precision, so it is limited to a context size of 31 bases (can be extended with BigNumber precision if necessary).
* Unit Tests added
-- As these represent the bulk of the StingExceptions coming from BAMSchedule and are caused by simple problems like the user providing bad input tmp directories, etc.
-- DoC now by default ignores bases with reference Ns, so these are not included in the coverage calculations at any stage.
-- Added option --includeRefNSites that will include them in the calculation
-- Added integration tests that ensures the per base tables (and so all subsequent calculations) work with and without reference N bases included
-- Reorganized command line options, tagging advanced options with @Advanced
