1 2	bedtoolsMerge(bedFiles, flank = 0, scorecol = 5, operation = "none", strand = FALSE, threads = getOption("threads", 1L))

`bedFiles`	A character vector of paths to bed files.
`flank`	"Maximum distance between features allowed for features to be merged. Default is 0. That is, overlapping and/or book-ended features are merged."
`scorecol`	Positive integer specifying the column with values for performing the specified operation.
`operation`	to perform on overlapping bed intervals. Can be one of: none,sum,mean,collapse,distinct,count,count_distinct. Default is none, meaning no operation is performed. See bedtools docs for more info.
`threads`	A positive integer specifying how many samples to process simultaneously.
