Jaccard coefficient between two sets of genomic regions

1	genomicCorr.jaccard(query, reference, restrict = NULL)

`query`	genomic region 1, a `GRanges` object
`reference`	genomic region 2, a `GRanges` object
`restrict`	background regions that should be only looked in, a `GRanges` object

Jaccard coefficient is defined as the total length of intersection divided by total length of union of two sets of genomic regions.

You can set the background when calculating Jaccard coefficient. For example, if the interest is the Jaccard coefficient between CpG sites in query and in reference restrict can be set with a GRanges object which contains positions of CpG sites.

Be careful with the strand in your GRanges object!!
