3 - Enabled RSEM to use Bowtie 2 aligner (indel, local and discordant alignments are not supported yet)
4 - Changed option names '--bowtie-phred33-quals', '--bowtie-phred64-quals' and '--bowtie-solexa-quals' back to '--phred33-quals', '--phred64-quals' and '--solexa-quals'
6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 - Fixed a bug which will lead to out-of-memory error when RSEM computes ngvector for EBSeq
12 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 - Fixed a compilation error problem in Mac OS
17 - Fixed a problem in makefile that affects 'make ebseq'
18 - Added 'model_file_description.txt', which describes the format and meanings of file 'sample_name.stat/sample_name.model'
19 - Updated samtools to version 0.1.19
21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 - Provided a more detailed description for how to simulate RNA-Seq data using 'rsem-simulate-reads'
26 - Provided more user-friendly error message if RSEM fails to extract transcript sequences due to the failure of reading certain chromosome sequences
28 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 - 'rsem-find-DE' is replaced by 'rsem-run-ebseq' and 'rsem-control-fdr' for a more friendly user experience
33 - Added support for differential expression testing on more than 2 conditions in RSEM's EBSeq wrappers 'rsem-run-ebseq' and 'rsem-control-fdr'
34 - Renamed '--phred33-quals', '--phred64-quals', and '--solexa-quals' in 'rsem-calculate-expression' to '--bowtie-phred33-quals', '--bowtie-phred64-quals', and '--bowtie-solex-quals' to avoid confusion
36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40 - Install the latest version of EBSeq from Bioconductor and if fails, try to install EBSeq v1.1.5 locally
41 - Fixed a bug in 'rsem-gen-transcript-plots', which makes 'rsem-plot-transcript-wiggles' fail
43 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
47 - Updated EBSeq from v1.1.5 to v1.1.6
48 - Fixed a bug in 'rsem-generate-data-matrix', which can cause 'rsem-find-DE' to crash
50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
54 - Fixed a bug that leads to poor parallelization performance in Mac OS systems
55 - Fixed a problem that may halt the 'rsem-gen-transcript-plots", thanks Han Lin for pointing out the problem and suggesting possible fixes
56 - Added some user-friendly error messages for converting transcript BAM files into genomic BAM files
57 - Modified rsem-tbam2gbam so that the original alignment quality MAPQ will be preserved if the input bam is not from RSEM
58 - Added user-friendly error messages if users forget to compile the source codes
60 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
64 - Fixed a bug in 'EBSeq/rsem-for-ebseq-generate-ngvector-from-clustering-info' which may crash the script
66 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
70 - Updated EBSeq to v1.1.5
71 - Modified 'rsem-find-DE' to generate extra output files (type 'rsem-find-DE' to see more information)
73 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
77 - Added poly(A) tails to 'reference_name.transcripts.fa' so that the RSEM generated transcript unsorted BAM file can be fed into RSEM as an input file. However, users need to rebuild their references if they want to visualize the transcript level wiggle files and BAM files using IGV
78 - Modified 'rsem-tbam2gbam' to convert users' alignments from transcript BAM files into genome BAM files, provided users use 'reference_name.idx.fa' to build indices for their aligners
79 - Updated EBSeq from v1.1.3 to v1.1.4
80 - Corrected several typos in warning messages
82 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
86 - Changed output formats, added FPKM field etc.
87 - Fixed a bug related to paired-end reads data
88 - Added a script to run EBSeq automatically and updated EBSeq to v1.1.3
90 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
94 - Removed optional field "Z0:A:!" in the BAM outputs
95 - Added --no-fractional-weight option to rsem-bam2wig, if the BAM file is not generated by RSEM, this option is recommended to be set
96 - Fixed a bug for generating transcript level wiggle files using 'rsem-plot-transcript-wiggles'
98 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 - Added an option to set the temporary folder name
103 - Removed sample_name.sam.gz. Instead, RSEM uses samtools to convert bowtie outputted SAM file into a BAM file under the temporary folder
104 - RSEM generated BAM files now contains all alignment lines produced by bowtie or user-specified aligners, including unalignable reads. Please note that for paired-end reads, if one mate has alignments but the other does not, RSEM will mark the alignable mate as "unmappable" (flag bit 0x4) and append an optional field "Z0:A:!"
106 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
110 - Allowed > 2^31 hits
111 - Added some instructions on how to visualize transcript coordinate BAM/WIG files using IGV
112 - Included EBSeq for downstream differential expression analysis
114 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
118 - Added some user-friendly error messages
119 - Added program 'rsem-sam-validator', users can use this program to check if RSEM can process their SAM/BAM files
120 - Modified 'convert-sam-for-rsem' so that this program will convert users' SAM/BAM files into acceptable BAM files for RSEM
122 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
126 - Fixed a bug related to parallezation of credibility intervals calculation
127 - Added --no-bam-output option to rsem-calculate-expression
128 - The order of @SQ tags in SAM/BAM files can be arbitrary now
130 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
134 - Added --time option to show time consumed by each phase
135 - Moved the alignment file out of the temporary folder
136 - Enabled pthreads for calculating credibility intervals
138 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
142 - Fixed several bugs causing compilation error
143 - Modified samtools' Makefile for cygwin. For cygwin users, please uncomment the 4th and 8th lines in sam/Makefile before compiling RSEM
145 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
149 - Added --chunkmbs option to rsem-calculate-expression (patch contributed by earonesty)
150 - Added --sampling-for-bam option to rsem-calculate-expression, in the bam file, instead of providing expected weights, for each read RSEM samples one alignment based on the expected weights
151 - RSEM can generate BAM and Wiggle files in both genomic-coordinate and transcript-coordinate
152 - Added rsem-plot-transcript-wiggles. This script can generate transcript-coordinate wiggle plots in pdf format. One unique feature is, a stacked plot can be generated, with unique read contribution shown as black and multi-read contribution shown as red
153 - Added convert_sam_for_rsem script for users do not use bowtie aligner
154 - Modified RSEM's GTF file parser. Now RSEM does not require "transcript_id" and "gene_id" be the first two attributes shown
155 - Improved descriptions for thread related errors
