This recipe demonstrates a bacterial variant caller with minimap2 and bcftools

This recipe contains the code presented by Torsten Seemann in the blog post titled A Unix one-liner to call bacterial variants

The code from the above website has been generalized a bit with additional utility.

This recipe provides code that:

Downloads a reference genome (default value: NZ_CP008918 Pasteurella multocida strain ATCC 43137, complete genome)
Downloads a sequencing run from SRA (default value: SRR4124989)
Generates statistics on the sequencing data
Runs minimap2 to align the sequences and create a SAM output
Runs bcftools mpileup to generate the genotype likelihoods of each base
Runs bcftools call to filter for multiallelic variants only
Runs bcftools norm to normalize each variant to a standard form
Runs bcftools filter to remove variants with low quality (QUAL) or low coverage (DP)

# Stop on errors.
set -uexo pipefail

# The reference genome.
ACC=NZ_CP008918

# Select sequencing run.
SRR=SRR4124989

# The directory that stores the reference sequence.
mkdir -p ref

# The file that stores the reference genome.
REF=ref/${ACC}.fa

# Download the reference accession number.
efetch -db nuccore -id $ACC -format fasta > $REF

# The directory that stores the sequencing reads.
mkdir -p reads

# Download the sequencing data.

# Optional step. Generate a report on the data size
echo "*** Sequence statistics"
