The MEC model in collapsed regions. Frequently, in polyploid organisms, two or more haplotypes are locally identical on larger stretches of sites, as shown by the pink and blue haplotype sequences in the left picture. The MEC model favors assigning the reads of two haplotypes to only one partition, because the spare partition can be used to collect noisy reads, which gives a lower MEC score but also results in unbalanced and likely wrong partitions
