coverage

Let's retrieve the fragment number statistics (coverage), normalized (-n) for reads per million (--scale 1000000) from fragments that have a MAPQ score greater than 40 (-q 40), a minimum length of 25bp (-min 25), a maximum length of 250bp (-max 250) and whose have any overlap (-p any) on 100kb intervals across chromosome 22. We will output (-o) the BED to 100kb.22.coverage.bed, using one worker (-w 1) and verbose mode (-v).

Our TSV output should look something like this:
