Documented in mergeResults

#' Merge results from different chromosomes
#'
#' This function merges the results from running [analyzeChr] on several
#' chromosomes and assigns genomic states using [annotateRegions]. It
#' re-calculates the p-values and q-values using the pooled areas from the null
#' regions from all chromosomes. Once the results have been merged,
#' `derfinderReport::generateReport` can be used to generate an HTML
#' report of the results. The `derfinderReport` package is available at
#' https://github.com/lcolladotor/derfinderReport.
#'
#' @param chrs The chromosomes of the files to be merged.
#' @param prefix The main data directory path, which can be useful if
#' [analyzeChr] is used for several parameters and the results are saved
#' in different directories.
#' @param significantCut A vector of length two specifiying the cutoffs used to
#' determine significance. The first element is used to determine significance
#' for the P-values and FWER adjusted P-values, while the second element is
#' used for the Q-values (FDR adjusted P-values) similar to
#' [calculatePvalues].
#' @param minoverlap Determines the mininum overlap needed when annotating
#' regions with [annotateRegions].
#' @param mergePrep If `TRUE` the output from [preprocessCoverage] is
#' merged.
#' @param ... Arguments passed to other methods and/or advanced arguments.
#' Advanced arguments:
#' \describe{
#' \item{verbose }{ If `TRUE` basic status updates will be printed along
#' the way.}
#' \item{optionsStats }{ The options used in [analyzeChr]. By default
#' `NULL` and will be inferred from the output files.}
#' \item{cutoffFstatUsed }{ The actual F-statistic cutoff used. This can be
#' obtained from the logs or from the output of [analyzeChr]. If
#' `NULL` then this function will attempt to re-calculate it.}
#' }
#' Passed to [annotateRegions] and [extendedMapSeqlevels].
#' @inheritParams annotateRegions
#'
#'
#' @return Seven Rdata files.
#' \describe{
#' \item{fullFstats.Rdata }{ Full F-statistics from all chromosomes in a list
#' of Rle objects.}
#' \item{fullTime.Rdata }{ Timing information from all chromosomes.}
#' \item{fullNullSummary.Rdata}{ A DataFrame with the null region information:
#' statistic, width, chromosome and permutation identifier. It's ordered by the
#' statistics}
#' \item{fullRegions.Rdata}{ GRanges object with regions found and with full
#' annotation from [matchGenes][bumphunter::matchGenes]. Note that the column
#' `strand` from [matchGenes][bumphunter::matchGenes] is renamed to
#' `annoStrand` to comply with GRanges specifications. }
#' \item{fullCoveragePrep.Rdata}{ A list with the pre-processed coverage data
#' from all chromosomes.}
#' \item{fullAnnotatedRegions.Rdata}{ A list as constructed in
#' [annotateRegions] with the assigned genomic states.}
#' \item{optionsMerge.Rdata}{ A list with the options used when merging the
#' results. Used in `derfinderReport::generateReport`.}
