-- These could be simplied in their downstream uses
-- Or they could be replaced with a generic getSAMFileHeaders() function and then apply the getSamples(header) as desired downstream
-- A nearly identical piece of code already lived in SampleUtils. Now there are two functions, one taking a regular header and another grabbing the merged header from the GATK engine itself. Much cleaner
-- 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
Removing unused files RODRecordIterator, ReferenceOrderedData, QueryableTrack, RMDTrackCreationException, GATKFeatureIterator, ReferenceOrderedDataUnitTest
Refactored dbSNP and refseq utilities to be closer to the other files implementing these features
