-- Helped ID more bugs in the ActivityProfile, necessitating a new algorithm for popping off active regions. This new algorithm requires that at least maxRegionSize + prob. propagation distance states have been examined. This ensures that the incremental results are the same as you get reading in an entire profile and running getRegions on the full profile
-- TODO is to remove incremental search start algorithm, as this is no longer necessary, and nicely eliminates a state variable I was always uncomfortable with
This is an intermediate commit so that there is a record of these changes in our
commit history. Next step is to isolate the test classes as well, and then move
the entire package to the Picard repository and replace it with a jar in our repo.
-Removed all dependencies on org.broadinstitute.sting (still need to do the test classes,
though)
-Had to split some of the utility classes into "GATK-specific" vs generic methods
(eg., GATKVCFUtils vs. VCFUtils)
-Placement of some methods and choice of exception classes to replace the StingExceptions
and UserExceptions may need to be tweaked until everyone is happy, but this can be
done after the move.
