regions should be ChIP-seq peaks, and the test SNPs should be SNPs
that are near-to or within the ChIP-seq peaks.

Note (added 4/25/2016): the target regions for a single test regions should be
non-overlapping. Overlapping target regions can cause some reads
to be counted multiple times in a single test and inflate the test
statistic. We plan to add a check for this to the extract haplotype
read counts.

If the goal is to identify eQTLs, the target regions should be the
exons of genes, and the test SNPs could be SNPs within a specified
distance of the TSS.
distance of the TSS. If a gene contains overlapping or duplicate
exons these should be collapsed.

We provide a script, `get_target_regions.py`, that can generate a list
of target regions and test SNPs for ChIP-seq peaks that match
