Hi,
I want to do a core SNP alignment based phylogenetic tree for bacterial species (haploids), and I have seen different papers relating tools and workflows. Can anyone recommend the best workflow for reliable SNP based alignment trees? I have seen Snippy in several papers - is that the most reliable tool?
Thank you

In the following comparison, snippy came out on top of over 200 pipelines averaging over different performance measures. This paper seems to be a good argument to defend its use.
