Snippy_Streamline_FASTA_PHB Workflow Diagram

The Snippy_Streamline_FASTA workflow is an all-in-one approach to generating a reference-based phylogenetic tree and associated SNP-distance matrix. The workflow can be run in multiple ways with options for:

• The reference genome to be provided by the user, or automatically selected using the Centroid task and Assembly_Fetch sub-workflow to find a close reference genome to your dataset
• The phylogeny to be generated by optionally
  • masking user-specified regions of the genome (providing a bed file to snippy_core_bed)
  • producing either a core or pan-genome phylogeny and SNP-matrix (core_genome; default = true)
  • masking recombination detected by gubbins, or not (use_gubbins; default=true)
  • choosing the nucleotide substitution (by specifying iqtree2_model), or allowing IQ-Tree's ModelFinder to identify the best model for your dataset (default)

Assembly Data Requirements

Input data used in the Snippy_Streamline_FASTA workflow must:

• Be assembled genomes in FASTA format
• Be generated by unbiased whole genome shotgun sequencing
• Pass appropriate QC thresholds for the taxa to ensure that the assemblies represent reasonably complete genomes that are free of contamination from other taxa or cross-contamination of the same taxon.
• If masking recombination with Gubbins, input data should represent complete genomes from the same strain/lineage (e.g. MLST) that share a recent common ancestor.

Reference Genomes

If reference genomes have multiple contigs, they will not be compatible with using Gubbins to mask recombination in the phylogenetic tree. The automatic selection of a reference genome by the workflow may result in a reference with multiple contigs. In this case, an alternative reference genome should be sought.
