Introduction
While the sample-level (FORMAT) DP field describes the total depth of reads that passed the Unified Genotyper's
internal quality control metrics (like MAPQ > 17, for example), the INFO field DP represents the unfiltered depth
over all samples. Note though that the DP is affected by downsampling (-dcov), so the max value one can obtain for
N samples with -dcov D is N * D
