**What it does**

This tool computes the GC bias using the method proposed by Benjamini and Speed (2012). Nucleic Acids Res. (see below for more explanations)
The output is used to plot the bias and can also be used later on to correct the bias with the tool correctGCbias.
There are two plots produced by the tool: a boxplot showing the absolute read numbers per genomic-GC bin and an x-y plot
depicting the ratio of observed/expected reads per genomic GC content bin.

**Summary of the method used**

In order to estimate how many reads with what kind of GC content one should have sequenced, we first need to determine how many regions the specific
reference genome contains for each amount of GC content, i.e. how many regions in the genome have 50% GC (or 10% GC or 90% GC or...).
We then sample a large number of equally sized genome bins and count how many times we see a bin with 50% GC (or 10% GC or 90% or...). These EXPECTED values are independent of any 
sequencing as it only depends on the respective reference genome (i.e. it will most likely vary between mouse and fruit fly due to their genome's different GC contents).
The OBSERVED values are based on the reads from the sequenced sample. Instead of noting how many genomic regions there are per GC content, we now count the reads per GC content.
In an ideal sample without GC bias, the ratio of OBSERVED/EXPECTED values should be close to 1 regardless of the GC content. Due to PCR (over)amplifications, the majority of ChIP samples
usually shows a significant bias towards reads with high GC content (>50%)
