==== Prepare Input Files====
'''rareMETAL''' requires the following basic input files: summary statistics and covariance matrices of score statistics generated by '''rareMetalWorker''', a file with list of studies to be included and a group file if gene-level meta-analysis is expected.
* --studyName option is crucial for '''rareMETAL''' to work. Ignoring this option would lead to FATAL ERROR and '''rareMETAL''' would stop.
