-Moved some of the more specialized / complex VariantContext and VCF utility
methods back to the GATK.
-Due to this re-shuffling, was able to return things like the Pair class back
to the GATK as well.
a) Add option to stratify CalibrateGenotypeLikelihoods by repeat - will add integration test in next push.
b) Simulator to produce BAM files with given error profile - for now only given SNP/indel error rate can be given. A bad context can be specified and if such context is present then error rate is increased to given value.
c) Rewrote RepeatLength covariate to do the right thing - not fully working yet, work in progress.
d) Additional experimental covariates to log repeat unit and combined repeat unit+length. Needs code refactoring/testing
-- 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 way walkers won't see anything except the standard bases plus Ns in the reference.
Added option to turn off this feature (to maintain backwards compatibility).
As part of this commit I cleaned up the BaseUtils code by adding a Base enum and removing all of the static indexes for
each of the bases. This uncovered a bug in the way the DepthOfCoverage walker counts deletions (it was counting Ns instead!) that isn't covered by tests. Fortunately that walker is being deprecated soon...
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.
