v2.4.2
Improvements in speed and performance.
Improvements
-
A batch of improvements has been implemented in
combine
to increase computing speed. First,combine
can take up to 6 cores to parallelize the generation of inclusion tables. Second, the quantification of pseudo-PSIs for ALTA and ALTD events (added in version v2.2.1, and used for the--min_ALT_use
option) has been simplified to reduce computing time. It currently uses more local quantification, as the ANN module. PSIs of individual alternative splice sites do not change. Finally, a few complex events were removed. -
align
includes a sanity check when paired reads are provided and it will die if the number of R1 and R2 reads are different. -
It is now possible to provide group names in
compare
(otherwise, they will still be automatically generated from the first replicate name).
Updates and fixes
- Silent change in
align
to use a more efficient hash system to store counts by position. This has seemingly given issues to a user with hg38.
