To accommodate the new format of the ClinVar XML, the code has been extensively reworked. While most things could be relocated in this new format, there are some lasting changes.
Fixes:
- new xml table
- the output in vcf mode now has no whitespace in the INFO column to be compatible with older VCF format and GATK.
- ncbi query times and reconnections have been improved
Updates:
--long-log
now has more thorough reporting of the classification of assertions, for better debugging.- CVDS now returns disease IDs to LinkOut. This is due to text descriptions being removed from the new XML format entirely. However, this is easier to parse as an output.
- Variant types have been implemented in the new xml beyond 'Simple' and 'Haplotype'. These show up in CVVT.
- Based on the current variant assertions in ClinVar, the assertion weights have been recalibrated.
