1. ngmlr简介

CoNvex Gap-cost Ments for Long Reads（ngmlr）是一种长reads比对工具，可以将PacBio或Oxford Nanopore灵敏地与（大）参考基因组（比如人类参考基因组）对齐，能快速和正确地比对reads，包括那些跨越（复杂）结构变异的reads。

Ngmlr使用结构变异（SV）感知的k-mer搜索来找到reads的近似映射位置，然后使用Smith-Waterman比对算法来计算最终比对。Ngmlr使用凸间隙成本模型（convex gap cost model），该模型对较长间隙的间隙扩展的罚分小于较短间隙的间隙扩展，以计算精确的比对。

差距模型允许ngmlr同时考虑测序误差和真实的基因组变异，并使其在更精确地鉴定源于结构变异的断裂点的位置方面特别有效。k-mer搜索有助于检测和拆分不能线性比对的reads，使ngmlr能够可靠地将读段与广泛的不同结构变异（包括嵌套SV）（例如侧翼缺失的倒位）进行比对。

NGMLR和Sniffles可以自动过滤错误事件并对低覆盖率数据，从而降低了阻碍长reads在临床和研究环境中应用的高成本。

cd ngmlr-0.2.7/

3. PacBio数据运行

三代fastq数据质控参考：三代测序PacBio&ONT reads过滤和修剪-Chooper和NanoFilt

结构变异Calling参考：三代测序结构变异分析 - 单样本Germline SV calling和多样本SV Calling

# 数据质控
gunzip -c sample.fastq.gz | NanoFilt -q 10 -l 1000 > sample.clean.fastq

# 比对
ngmlr -t 4 -r reference.fasta \
-q sample.clean.fastq -o sample.sam
# -t: 线程数
# -r: 参考基因组fasta路径
# -q: clean fastq路径
# -o: 比对输出sam文件路径

# Sam2bam
samtools view -bS sample.sam > sample.bam

# 排序
samtools sort sample.bam -o sample.sorted.bam
samtools index sample.sorted.bam

# 查看bam
samtools view sample.sorted.bam|less -S

4. Oxford Nanopore运行

gunzip -c sample.fastq.gz | NanoFilt -q 10 -l 1000 > sample.clean.fastq

# 参数-x: 三代数据类型，默认PacBio
ngmlr -t 4 -r reference.fasta \
-q sample.clean.fastq -o test.sam -x ont


# Sam2bam
samtools view -bS sample.sam > sample.bam

# 排序
samtools sort sample.bam -o sample.sorted.bam
samtools index sample.sorted.bam

# 查看bam
samtools view sample.sorted.bam|less -S
