Description: BiFET identifies TFs whose footprints are over-represented
        in target regions compared to background regions after
        correcting for the bias arising from the imbalance in read
        counts and GC contents between the target and background
        regions. For a given TF k, BiFET tests the null hypothesis that
        the target regions have the same probability of having
        footprints for the TF k as the background regions while
        correcting for the read count and GC content bias. For this, we
        use the number of target regions with footprints for TF k, t_k
        as a test statistic and calculate the p-value as the
        probability of observing t_k or more target regions with
        footprints under the null hypothesis.
