Bactopia Tool - pangenome

The pangenome subworkflow allows you to create a pan-genome with PIRATE, Panaroo, or Roary) of your samples.

You can further supplement your pan-genome by including completed genomes. This is possible using the --species or --accessions parameters. If used, ncbi-genome-download will download available completed genomes available from RefSeq. Any downloaded genomes will be annotated with Prokka to create compatible GFF3 files.

A phylogeny, based on the core-genome alignment, will be created by IQ-Tree. Optionally a recombination-masked core-genome alignment can be created with ClonalFrameML and maskrc-svg.

Finally, the core genome pair-wise SNP distance for each sample is also calculated with snp-dists and additional pan-genome wide association studies can be conducted using Scoary.

Example Usage

bactopia --wf pangenome \
  --bactopia /path/to/your/bactopia/results
