Run the germline variant tool to generate BAM and variants on long read sequences using minimap2 for alignment as well as the DeepVariant variant caller.

            # This command assumes all the inputs are in INPUT_DIR and all the outputs go to OUTPUT_DIR.
docker run --rm --gpus all --volume INPUT_DIR:/workdir --volume OUTPUT_DIR:/outputdir \
    --workdir /workdir \
    nvcr.io/nvidia/clara/clara-parabricks:4.3.1-1 \
$ pbrun pacbio_germline \
    --ref /workdir/${REFERENCE_FILE} \
    --in-fq /workdir/${INPUT_FASTQ} \
    --out-bam /outputdir/${OUTPUT_BAM} \
    --out-variants /outputdir/${OUTPUT_VCF}

Compatible CPU-based minimap2, GATK4, and Google DeepVariant Commands

The commands below are the minimap2-v2.26, GATK4, and Google DeepVariant counterpart of the Clara Parabricks command above. The output from these commands will be identical to the output from the above command. See the Output Comparison page for comparing the results.

Please note that two changes must be made to the baseline minimap2 code in order to match the results exactly:

Firstly, a new preset must be made in options.c in the mm_set_opt function that tries to replicate the preset of pbmm2 by setting these parameters as a new preset named “map-pbmm2":

            io->k = 19;
io->w = 10;
io->batch_size = 0x7fffffffffffffffL; // always build a uni-part index
mo->flag |= MM_I_HPC;
mo->flag |= MM_F_CIGAR;
mo->flag |= MM_F_LONG_CIGAR;
mo->flag |= MM_F_EQX;
mo->flag |= MM_F_SOFTCLIP;
mo->flag |= MM_F_NO_PRINT_2ND;
mo->flag |= MM_F_HARD_MLEVEL;
mo->mask_level = 0;
mo->e2 = 1;
mo->zdrop = 400;
mo->a = 2;
mo->b = 5;
mo->q = 5;
mo->q2 = 56;
mo->e = 4;
mo->zdrop_inv = 50;
mo->bw = 2000;

Secondly, a fix must be made to the baseline KSW2 code to round the loop fission start and end points by changing them to st and en respectively. If the start point (st0) is a number below 16, but greater than 0, its scoring values will not be initialized correctly, but will still be used later when computing the actual alignment. This can be fixed by rounding the start and end points to multiples of 16.

To make this fix, change the following code in ksw2_extd2_sse.c:

                    // loop fission: set scores first
        if (!(flag & KSW_EZ_GENERIC_SC)) {
            for (t = st0; t <= en0; t += 16) {
                __m128i sq, st, tmp, mask;
                sq = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i*)&sf[t]);
                st = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i*)&qrr[t]);
                mask = _mm_or_si128(_mm_cmpeq_epi8(sq, m1_), _mm_cmpeq_epi8(st, m1_));
                tmp = _mm_cmpeq_epi8(sq, st);
#ifdef __SSE4_1__
                tmp = _mm_blendv_epi8(sc_mis_, sc_mch_, tmp);
                tmp = _mm_blendv_epi8(tmp,     sc_N_,   mask);
#else
                tmp = _mm_or_si128(_mm_andnot_si128(tmp,  sc_mis_), _mm_and_si128(tmp,  sc_mch_));
                tmp = _mm_or_si128(_mm_andnot_si128(mask, tmp),     _mm_and_si128(mask, sc_N_));
#endif
                _mm_storeu_si128((__m128i*)((int8_t*)s + t), tmp);
            }
        } else {
            for (t = st0; t <= en0; ++t)
                ((uint8_t*)s)[t] = mat[sf[t] * m + qrr[t]];
        }

Fixed version that uses lf_start and lf_en:

        int lf_start = st, lf_en = en;
        if (!(flag & KSW_EZ_GENERIC_SC)) {
            for (t = lf_start; t <= lf_en; t += 16) {
                __m128i sq, st, tmp, mask;
