-- 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
-- refdata/features now in utils/codecs with the other codecs
-- Deleted dbsnpHelper. rsID function now in VCFutils. Remaining code either deleted or put into VariantContextAdaptors
-- Many associated import updates due to code move
New class handles (vastly more cleanly) the db of tribble codecs, features, and names for use throughout the GATK.
Added SelfScopingFeatureCodec interface that allows a FeatureCodec to examine a file and determine if the file can be parsed. This is the first step towards allowing the GATK to dynamically determine the type of a RodBinding.
-- Cleaning up old interface to RMDT, docs and contracts added
-- Proper type checking for RodBinding for cases where the Tribble type isn't found or is the wrong type
RodBinding no longer duplicates the get() methods in RMDT. This is just an object now that connects the command line system to the RMDT.
Updated programs to use new style
Added UnitTests for the RodBinding accessors.
You know have to provide an explicit list of RODRecordLists upfront to the constructor. RefMetaDataTracker is now immutable. Changes in engine to incorporate these differences
Extensive UnitTests for RefMetaDataTracker now.
Removing unused files RODRecordIterator, ReferenceOrderedData, QueryableTrack, RMDTrackCreationException, GATKFeatureIterator, ReferenceOrderedDataUnitTest
Refactored dbSNP and refseq utilities to be closer to the other files implementing these features
