This refers to the representation of a variant in as few nucleotides as possible.  A representation with nucleotides that can be inferred from the reference sequence is not considered parsimonious.  The blue variant representation in the figure is not parsimonious while the maroon representation is.

This refers to the representation of a variant in as few nucleotides as possible.  A representation with nucleotides that can be inferred from the reference sequence is not considered parsimonious.  The blue variant representation in the figure is not parsimonious because the second CA can be inferred from the reference sequence.  The maroon representation is parsimonious, the alternate allele contains only a single base from the reference sequence.
