HaplotypeCaller GVCF on one bam files

Hi Guys, I have two fastq files for a single patient. They have paired-end reads. I am using Haplotype caller to generate variants. So while generating the variants should I Just generate vcf directly from haplotype caller or a gvcf and then use genotype calling. From my understanding gvcf is effective while calling variants on a cohort of bam files. Is that correct?

Thank you

variant calling gatk haplotypecaller

gvcf is effective while calling variants on a cohort of bam files. Is that correct?

yes

Hi Pierre, So should I use genotypeCalling for a single gvcf file? How is it different from the vcf generated by HaplotypeCaller?

Thank you

you just call HaplotypeCaller without -ERC GVCF and you'll get a standard vcf
