OpenCTI vs segregatr: at a glance
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
What is segregatr?
A segregation-analysis tool that keeps widening which pedigrees it can actually handle.
segregatr computes full-likelihood Bayes factors for variant segregation in families, built on pedtools and part of the wider pedsuite ecosystem. Its releases are infrequent but each one lifts a structural restriction: loops, recessive and X-linked models, liability classes, and most recently a proband-free variant of the score. The companion shinyseg app gives the same machinery a clinical front end.

◆ Current state
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
◆ Prediction
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.

0.0ANALYTICS
A segregation-analysis tool that keeps widening which pedigrees it can actually handle.
◆ Current state
segregatr computes full-likelihood Bayes factors for variant segregation in families, built on pedtools and part of the wider pedsuite ecosystem. Its releases are infrequent but each one lifts a structural restriction: loops, recessive and X-linked models, liability classes, and most recently a proband-free variant of the score. The companion shinyseg app gives the same machinery a clinical front end.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is coverage of awkward real-world pedigrees rather than new statistics. Loops were handled for the core score in 0.3.0 and then extended to liability classes in 0.4.0, so the same structural capability is being pushed through the codebase feature by feature. The 2025 release moves in a different direction, relaxing the requirement for a designated proband. Development is slow and steady, roughly annual, and tracks its pedtools dependency closely.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to continue relaxing modelling constraints — the pattern of retrofitting each new capability across loops, liability classes and inheritance models is unfinished — rather than expanding beyond segregation scoring.
