DESCRIPTION

       This script counts bases with sufficient coverage in the ROIs of each gene in the given
       pair of tumor-normal BAM files and categorizes them into - AT, CG (non-CpG), and CpG
       counts. It also adds up these base-counts across all ROIs of each gene in the sample, but
       covered bases that lie within overlapping ROIs are not counted more than once towards
       these total counts.

ARGUMENTS

       --roi-file
           The regions of interest (ROIs) of each gene are typically regions targeted for
           sequencing or are merged exon loci (from multiple transcripts) of genes with 2-bp
           flanks (splice junctions). ROIs from the same chromosome must be listed adjacent to
           each other in this file. This allows the underlying C-based code to run much more
           efficiently and avoid re-counting bases seen in overlapping ROIs (for overall covered
           base counts). For per-gene base counts, an overlapping base will be counted each time
           it appears in an ROI of the same gene. To avoid this, be sure to merge together
           overlapping ROIs of the same gene. BEDtools' mergeBed can help if used per gene.
       --reference-sequence
           The reference sequence in FASTA format. If a reference sequence index is not found
           next to this file (a .fai file), it will be created.
       --normal-tumor-bam-pair
           "sample-name path/to/normal_bam path/to/tumor_bam"
       --output-file
           Specify an output file where the per-ROI covered base counts will be written
