Normalize whenever we call more than one sample per group
The reason is that in complex scenarios, we want primitive alleles
in order to be able to correctly identify events.

Example:
The child has
CGAGCGGA -> TGGCTGGA
while both parent have
CGAGCGGA -> TGGCTGGG

The correct genomic interpretation is that the G allele in the end is lost in the child.
But in above MNV representation, it looks like a denovo event overall, while the two SNVs at the beginning are actually inherited.
