Revision history for diffReps. 1.55.3 Thu Sep 12 2013 - diffReps will now remove intermediate files even if it dies from exceptions. - The POD of diffReps modules are re-written so that they are more informative. - Use Perl built-in functions to delete intermediate files instead of external "rm" in the main program, making it more friendly to Windows users. - Corrected some version numbers. 1.55.2 Sat Aug 31 2013 - Corrected some mistakes in Makefile.PL. - Made the program aware of the number of required replicates when nb and tt are selected. 1.55 Wed Jun 26 2013 - Allow chromosome names to have more flexible format. - added example/norm.txt. 1.54 Fri Nov 2 2012 - A quick-and-dirty implementation of parallel processing. - findHotspots now accepts option to specify columns to extract. - New default values for option "--nsd": broad(2) and sharp(20) peaks. - Column "logFC" is renamed to "log2FC" to avoid any ambiguity. 1.43 Mon Jul 23 2012 - The null model used in findHotspot has been changed to local Poisson. - Added support for background samples, such as DNA input or IgG, to calculate enrichment for each differential site. - Filter windows based on background enrichment (using this can make detection >2 times slower). - Misc. improvement to make detecting differential sites more efficient (~70% faster). 1.33 Tue Jun 19 2012 - Output average read count for each site for further filtering purpose. - Output diffReps version and full command used. 1.32 Fri Mar 23 2012 - Added script and database files for automatic annotation of differential sites. - Added script to look for chromatin modification hotspots from diffReps results. 1.12 Thu Mar 22 2012 - Added robust estimation for background mean and deviation. Right-trimmed mean is used to replace arithmetic average. Median absolute deviation is used to replace standard deviation. - Robust estimation is done on a sub-sample of 100,000 bins instead of the whole genome to save compuational cost and memory usage. 1.02 Thu Mar 8 2012 - fixed a bug that will generate a warning message if you provide your own chromosome length file. - added a routine to choose window and step size more sensiblely and prevent weird values. 1.01 Fri Mar 2 2012 - fixed a tiny bug that will generate a warning message if round-off errors cause the G-statistic to be a negative. - added scripts to convert from ELAND and SAM alignment to BED files. - added a script to remove redundant short reads. 1.00 Wed Feb 29 2012 - a workable version created and tested. 0.01 Sat Feb 25 15:49:37 2012 - original version; created by h2xs 1.23 with options - AX -b 5.6.0 -n diffReps
