bio-long-read-sequencing-nanopore-methylation
Calls DNA methylation from Oxford Nanopore sequencing data using signal-level analysis. Use when detecting 5mC or 6mA modifications directly from nanopore reads without bisulfite conversion.

Version Compatibility
Reference examples tested with: methylKit 1.28+, minimap2 2.26+, samtools 1.19+
Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:
- CLI:
<tool> --versionthen<tool> --helpto confirm flags
If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.
Nanopore Methylation Calling
"Call methylation from my Nanopore reads" → Extract 5mC/6mA modification probabilities from basecalled reads and summarize per-site methylation frequencies.
- CLI:
modkit pileup aligned.bam methylation.bed --ref ref.fa
Modern Workflow (modkit)
ONT's modkit is the recommended tool for methylation analysis from basecalled data.

Sample Summary
# Get modification summary statistics
modkit summary aligned.bam
# Output includes:
# - Total reads with modifications
# - Modification types detected
# - Fraction modified per type
Differential Methylation
# Create BED files for each sample
modkit pileup sample1.bam sample1.bed --ref ref.fa --cpg
modkit pileup sample2.bam sample2.bed --ref ref.fa --cpg
# Compare with methylKit or DSS in R
Quality Considerations
- Minimum coverage: 10x for reliable calls
- Modified base probability threshold: 0.5 default, adjust as needed
- Combine strands for CpG (symmetric methylation)
