    Hi elena vigorito,

    Thank you for writing to the GATK forum! I hope that we can help you sort this out.

    In this case, you can use the MergeSamFiles (Picard) tool. This tool will allow you to merge your BAM files from different read groups into a single file. You’ll want to combine these before inputting them into HaplotypeCaller. Please find an example command below.

    java -jar picard.jar MergeSamFiles \
         I=input_1.bam \
         I=input_2.bam \
         O=output_merged_files.bam

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you find success with this. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

    Best,
    Anthony
