-- Created public static UnifiedGenotyper.getHeaderInfo that loads UG standard header lines, and use this in tools like PoolCaller
-- Created VCFStandardHeaderLines class that keeps standard header lines in the GATK in a single place. Provides convenient methods to add these to a header, as well as functionality to repair standard lines in incoming VCF headers
-- VCF parsers now automatically repair standard VCF header lines when reading the header
-- Updating integration tests to reflect header changes
-- Created private and public testdata directories (public/testdata and private/testdata). Updated tests to use test
-- SelectHeaders now always updates the header to include the contig lines
-- SelectVariants add UG header lines when in regenotype mode
-- Renamed PHRED_GENOTYPE_LIKELIHOODS_KEY to GENOTYPE_PL_KEY
-- Bugfix in BCF2 to handle lists of null elements (can happen in genotype field values from VCFs)
-- Throw error when VCF has unbounded non-flag values that don't have = value bindings
-- By default we no longer allow writing of BCF2 files without contig lines in the header
When aggregating raw BAM file spans into shards, the IntervalSharder tries to combine
file spans when it can. Unfortunately, the method that combines two BAM file
spans was seriously flawed, and would produce a truncated union if the file spans
overlapped in certain ways. This could cause entire regions of the BAM file containing
reads within the requested intervals to be dropped.
Modified GATKBAMFileSpan.union() to correct this problem, and added unit tests
to verify that the correct union is produced regardless of how the file spans
happen to overlap.
Thanks to Khalid, who did at least as much work on this bug as I did.
