- When using
-sortedwithintersect,map, andclosest, bedtools can now detect and warn you when your input datasets employ different chromosome sorting orders. - Fixed multiple bugs in the new, faster
closesttool. Specifically, the -iu, -id, and -D options were not behaving properly with the new "sweeping" algorithm that was implemented for the 2.22.0 release. Many thanks to Sol Katzman for reporting these issues and for providing a detailed analysis and example files. - We FINALLY wrote proper documentation for the
closesttool.
http://bedtools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/content/tools/closest.html - Fixed bug in the
tagtool when using -intervals, -names, or -scores. Thanks to Yarden Katz for reporting this. - Fixed issues with chromosome boundaries in the
sloptool when using negative distances. Thanks to @acdaugherty! - Multiple improvements to the
fishertool. Added a-moption to thefishertool to merge overlapping intervals prior to comparing overlaps between two input files. Thanks to @brentp - Fixed a bug in
makewindowstool requiring the use of-bwith-s. - Fixed a bug in
intersectthat prevented-splitfrom detecting complete overlaps with-f 1. Thanks to @tleonardi . - Restored the default decimal precision to the
groupbytool. - Added the -prec option to the
mergeandmaptools to specific the decimal precision of the output.
