Merging can be performed by chromosome to reduce memory requirements and parallelize using `--chromosome`. See the workflows for examples.

Peak memory usage for joint calling increases linearly by ~63 MB per 30-40X human WGS. This can be prohibitively high for large cohorts. To reduce memory requirements, analysis can be parallelized by chromosome using `--chromosome` then subsequently merged. See the workflows for examples. This reduces memory usage to ~5 MB/sample.
