In the context of variant representation, parsimony means representing a variant in as few nucleotides as possible without reducing the length of any allele to 0. It is a property describing the nature of the length of a variant's alleles and is defined as follows:
In the context of variant representation, parsimony means representing a variant in as few nucleotides as possible without reducing the length of any allele to 0. It is a property describing the nature of the length of a variant's alleles and is defined as follows:
A variant is parsimonious if it is represented in as few nucleotides as possible
A variant is parsimonious if and only if it is represented in as few nucleotides as possible
without an allele of length 0.
without an allele of length 0.
