“…Due to constraints in sequencing depth, many genotyping methods incorporate empirical Bayes techniques to borrow strength between individuals [Voorrips et al, 2011, Serang et al, 2012, Maruki and Lynch, 2017, Blischak et al, 2018, Gerard et al, 2018, Clark et al, 2019]. These methods posit some class of prior distributions for the possible genotypes, select a distribution among this class using maximum marginal likelihood, and incorporate this prior genotype distribution in a Bayesian inference scheme to derive a posterior genotype distribution from which genotype calls are made.…”
