Description

Currently, the bedtools_genomecov module is implemented as a local module. There is however an nf-core module for it https://nf-co.re/modules/bedtools_genomecov. The local module should probably be ported to the nf-core module to ensure maintenance and allow users to set parameter space using ext.args, instead of relying on hard coded parameters for every execution, for example --bg / --bga (as described in https://github.com/nf-core/chipseq/issues/468)

Research direction

Start with modules/local/bedtools_genomecov.nf and compare it with the nf-core bedtools_genomecov module linked in the issue. Check how the pipeline currently invokes the local module and review issue #468 for the --bg/--bga parameter context. Done means the local implementation is ported to the nf-core module and parameter selection can use ext.args.
