Mapping

To prepare the reference for mapping you must first index   （ BWT：Burrows Wheeler Transform 索引算法，耗时较长，安排好时间）

bwa index <ref.fa>

bwa mem -R '@RG\tID:foo\tSM:bar\tLB:library1' <ref.fa> <read1.fa> <read1.fa> > lane.sam

Ensure that the @RG information here is correct as this information is used by later tools. The SM field must be set to the name of the sample being processed, and LB field to the library.

samtools fixmate -O bam <lane.sam> <lane_fixmate.bam>

samtools sort -O bam -o <lane_sorted.bam> -T </tmp/lane_temp> <lane_fixmate.sam>

In order to reduce the number of miscalls of INDELs in your data it is helpful to realign your raw gapped alignment with the Broad’s GATK Realigner.

java -Xmx2g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T RealignerTargetCreator -R <ref.fa> -I <lane.bam> -o <lane.intervals> --known <bundle/b38/Mills1000G.b38.vcf>
java -Xmx4g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T IndelRealigner -R <ref.fa> -I <lane.bam> -targetIntervals <lane.intervals> --known <bundle/b38/Mills1000G.b38.vcf> -o <lane_realigned.bam>

BQSR from the Broad’s GATK allows you to reduce the effects of analysis artefacts produced by your sequencing machines. It does this in two steps, the first analyses your data to detect covariates and the second compensates for those covariates by adjusting quality scores.

java -Xmx4g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T BaseRecalibrator -R <ref.fa> -knownSites >bundle/b38/dbsnp_142.b38.vcf> -I <lane.bam> -o <lane_recal.table>
java -Xmx2g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T PrintReads -R <ref.fa> -I <lane.bam> --BSQR <lane_recal.table> -o <lane_recal.bam>

It is helpful at this point to compile all of the reads from each library together into one BAM, which can be done at the same time as marking PCR and optical duplicates. To identify duplicates we currently recommend the use of either the Picard or biobambam’s mark duplicates tool.

java -Xmx2g -jar MarkDuplicates.jar VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=LENIENT INPUT=<lane_1.bam> INPUT=<lane_2.bam> INPUT=<lane_3.bam> OUTPUT=<library.bam>

Once this is done you can perform another merge step to produce your sample BAM files.

samtools merge <sample.bam> <library1.bam> <library2.bam> <library3.bam>
samtools index <sample.bam>

Variant Calling

To convert your BAM file into genomic positions we first use mpileup to produce a BCF file that contains all of the locations in the genome.

bcftools mpileup -Ou -f <ref.fa> <sample1.bam> <sample2.bam> <sample3.bam> | bcftools call -vmO z -o <study.vcf.gz>

To prepare our VCF for querying we next index it using tabix:

tabix -p vcf <study.vcf.gz>

prepare graphs and statistics to assist you in filtering your variants:

bcftools stats -F <ref.fa> -s - <study.vcf.gz> > <study.vcf.gz.stats>
mkdir plots
plot-vcfstats -p plots/ <study.vcf.gz.stats>

filter data

bcftools filter -O z -o <study_filtered..vcf.gz> -s LOWQUAL -i'%QUAL>10' <study.vcf.gz>

Variant filtration is a subject worthy of an article in itself and the exact filters you will need to use will depend on the purpose of your study and quality and depth of the data used to call the variants.

注： 变异过滤要服从具体研究目的以及数据的质量和深度。
