Change Log

  • For versions 4.15.0 and later, see the official "releases" page on GitHub: https://github.com/statgen/raremetal/releases
    • Note: versions in the 4.14.x series were prone to a bug with that gave incorrect results for SKAT and burden test methods.
    • Note: users of a specific long-lived pre-release v4.15.0 candidate ( April 19, 2018 ) may be affected by an issue with which variants are selected for analysis. If your version incorporates the linked GitHub commit, your results may be affected. Previous release candidates based on that branch should be ok.
  • Version 4.14.0 released (11/27/2016)
    • Optimized method for unbalanced studies with no family structure (--useExact). Check RAREMETAL METHOD
    • bug fixes in conditional analysis
    • fixed headers
    • more methods in burden test
  • Version 4.13.9 released (07/14/2016)
    • The source code has been optimized to prepare for incoming new meta-analysis method in next version.
    • Reduced running time when reading >10,000s individuals from vcf
    • Fixed seg fault in raremetalworker for calculating SNP HWE p value when sample size > 40k
    • A seg fault: sometimes you only have very few variants but raremetal still tries to calculate GC.
  • Version 4.13.8 released (12/13/2015)
    • when grouping from vcf, raremetal now obtains information only from "ANNOFULL" field.
    • fixed seg fault in matching --annotation option to vcf annotation.
    • with empty --annotation option, raremetal now groups all non-intergenic variants.
    • fixed a bug in conditional analysis when there are multiple variants to condition on.
    • fixed a seg fault in calculating genomic control.
    • add --variantList option in RaremetalWorker to only calculate variance-covariance matrix between certain markers.
    • add --range option in both Raremetal and RaremetalWorker to focus on given region only.
  • Version 4.13.7 released. (9/18/2015).
    • group file generated from annotated vcf is now stored in "test.groupfile" under current running directory.
    • use -O0 option in compiling. In very rare situations, gcc optimization will affect the results.
    • tabix RMW output with --zip toggled.
    • In SKAT meta analysis, skip the variant when all its lambdas are zero.
    • bug fixes in conditional analysis: in very rare situation raremetal takes rvtest input as raremetalworker input.
    • add --altMAF option to exclude studies in which a variant is not present.

    • add a new option --mergedVCFID to recognize VCF files with sample IDs in "FAMID_PID" format

  • Version 4.13.5 released. (9/29/2014)
    • a bug fixed in conditional analysis in raremetal.

  • Version 4.13.3 released.
    • read rvtest output format correctly in raremetal.

    • fixed sqrt_V output when analyzing unrelated individuals without kinship and --inverseNormal is not used and trait variance is not one.

    • fixed a bug affecting output format when ped/dat files are used together with --dominant --recessive options.
  • version 4.13
    • fixed bug when using --vcX option.

    • improved make file for better compilation.
  • version 4.11
    • fixed a bug for inverse-normalizing traits (a bug only in version 4.9 and later).
  • version 4.10
    • fixed a bug when analyzing multiple traits is requested in raremetalworker (bug only in version 4.9 and later, and doesn't affect results).
