vcfhacks v0.2.1
Release Information
This release fixes some issues with the previous (v0.2.0) release and adds a small number of new features.
Changes
- Fixes an issue which would prevent any scripts running with certain versions of perl
- Added addFilterField.pl script for quickly tagging all variants in a VCF with a FILTER annotation
- Fixed an issue with annovcfToSimple.pl not outputting the advertised default fields.
- Prevented getVariantsByLocation.pl or geneAnnotator.pl from making too many REST queries in too short a time
- Added --vcf_af and --min_af_counts options to findBiallelic.pl to allow filtering on alleles based on frequency within the input VCF
- Added option to filterOnSample.pl to allow filtering on allele frequency only when a minimum number of alleles have been called (--min_alleles_for_freq)
- filterOnSample.pl can now be run to filter on allele frequency without specifying --samples, --reject or --reject_except options
- scripts that read a VCF index will now check age of index and warn if the index is older than the VCF
- added a temporary fix for OMIM's new download arrangements to geneAnnotator.pl
- rankOnCaddScore.pl now has --keep_unscored option for not filtering variants without a CADD score when using the --filter option
