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.
-- The GATK VCFWriter now enforces by default that all INFO, FILTER, and FORMAT fields be properly defined in the header. This helps avoid some of the low-level errors I saw in SelectVariants. This behavior can be disable in the engine with the --allowMissingVCFHeaders argument
-- Fixed broken annotations in TandemRepeat, which were overwriting AD instead of defining RPA
-- Optimizations to VariantEval, removing some obvious low-hanging fruit all in the subsetting of variants by sample
-- SelectVariants header fixes -- Was defining DP for the info field as a FORMAT field, as for AC, AF, and AN original
-- Performance optimizations in BCF2 codec and writer
-- using arrays not lists for intermediate data structures
-- Create once and reuse an array of GenotypeBuilders for the codec, avoiding reallocating this data structure over and over
-- VCFHeader (which needs a complete rewrite, FYI Eric)
-- Warn and fix on the way flag values with counts > 0
-- GenotypeSampleNames are now stored as a List as they are ordered, and the set iteration was slow. Duplicates are detected once at header creation.
-- Explicitly track FILTER fields for efficient lookup in their own hashmap
-- Automatically add PL field when we see a GL field and no PL field
-- Added get and has methods for INFO, FILTER, and FORMAT fields
-- No longer add AC and AF values to the INFO field when there's no ALT allele
-- Memory efficient comparison of VCF and BCF files for shadow BCF testing. Now there's no (memory) constraint on the size of the files we can compare
-- Because of VCF's limited floating point resolution we can only use 1 sig digit for comparing doubles between BCF and VCF
- By porting from jython to java now accessible to Queue via automatic extension generation.
- Better handling for problematic sample names by using PicardAggregationUtils.
GATKReportTable looks up keys using arrays instead of dot-separated strings, which is useful when a sample has a period in the name.
CombineVariants has option to suppress the header with the command line, which is now invoked during VCF gathering.
Added SelectHeaders walker for filtering headers for dbGAP submission.
Generated command line for read filters now correctly prefixes the argument name as --read_filter instead of -read_filter.
Latest WholeGenomePipeline.
Other minor cleanup to utility methods.
-- 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
