Change Log

  • Version 4.14.0 released (11/27/2016)
    • Released an exact method for unbalanced studies with no family structure (--useExact)
    • bug fixes in conditional analysis
  • 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.

    • group file generated from annotated vcf is now stored in "test.groupfile" under current running directory.

    • tabix RMW output with --zip toggled.
    • In SKAT meta analysis, skip the variant when all its lambdas are zero.
