**What it does**

This tool compares two bigwig files based on the number of mapped reads. To
compare the bigwig files the genome is partitioned into bins of equal size,
then the number of reads found in each BAM file are counted for such bins and
finally a summarizing value is reported. This value can be the ratio of the
number of reads per bin, the log2 of the ratio, the sum or the difference.
