 The most important though largely invisible modification is the change of the
 order of genotypes in the PL VCF/BCF tag. This is to conform the upcoming VCF

-short to be useful in most applications, but phasing can be powerful for ruling
-out some SNPs close to INDELs and some of clustered spurious SNPs between copies
-of CNVs. On one data set, phasing based SNP calling is better in terms of both
-sensitivity and specificity than the standard methods.
