Description
In many cases, were re-sequencing a sample that does not differ from the reference genome (ex. E. Coli). I would like to run
CollectSamErrorMetrics
without having to give an empty VCF.Funnily enough, this was internally supported, but the
VCF
option was never set to be optional. Just see theinitializeVcfDataSource
method to verify.Checklist
