dannScore and gerpScore attributes use "," instead of "." when their value is a floating point

[algarsi3]

I annotated a test VCF file using the following command:

dotnet bin/Release/net6.0/Nirvana.dll
-c Data/Cache/GRCh37/Both
--sd Data/SupplementaryAnnotation/GRCh37
-r Data/References/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.Nirvana.dat \
-i files/out-test.vcf
-o files/out

When inspecting the JSON file, there is a , instead of a . in gerpScore and dannScore when their value is not an integer

Hi @algarsi3 ,
We had fixed some of those issues in recent Nirvana versions. Can you share the JSON part where you see this?

Thanks

Thanks @algarsi3 . You may track the following ticket: https://nirvana-annotator.atlassian.net/browse/NIR-1276

Hello, I see that this was solved in the 3.19 version, which is unreleased. Is there any estimated release date for the 3.19 version?

[rajatshuvro]

Hi @algarsi3 ,
We are still ironing our some details about the release. Thanks for your patience.

How can we get the version 3.19?

[wuttke]

It is an annoying bug as no parser can read the malformed JSON. Here is how I worked around:

zcat xx.json.gz | \
        sed 's/"dannScore":\(-\?[0-9]\+\),\([0-9]\+\)/"dannScore":\1.\2/g' | \
        sed 's/"gerpScore":\(-\?[0-9]\+\),\([0-9]\+\)/"gerpScore":\1.\2/g' | \
        gzip > yy.json.gz

Hello @wuttke,
Thank you for your interest about Nirvana. We intend to make the command line tool available. However, this will not be open-source, but it will be downloadable without any cost. Our target timeframe for this release is sometime in September. Furthermore, you can expect a lightweight license to ensure that access is granted exclusively to Illumina customers, with a requirement not to distribute these files externally.

Please share you contact information (email , organization, etc.) so that we can reach out to you.

Best regards,
Rajat
