    hi,

    why not use `Haplotypecaller` to call variants in  microbial genomes?

    Thank you .

    Because HaplotypeCaller assumes that the input genome is diploid, which is not the case with microbial genomes.

    Thank you .

    How about setting `--ploidy ` to `1` for HaplotypeCaller to run on  microbial genomes?

    Best,
