extracting unmapped reads from PAF file

Question

[Ric]

Hi, I used minimap2 -cx asm5 -t 8 $1 $2 > $3 and it generated a PAF file. How is it possible to extract unmapped reads?

Thank you in advance,

If I am not mistaken, minimap2 does not output unmapped reads in paf format.

Is it possible that minimap2 output sam or bam files?

Yes.
