[-x {m,y,male,Male,f,x,female,Female}] [-y] [-t TARGETS] [-a ANTITARGETS] [--no-gc] [--no-edge] [--no-rmask] [references ...]

Reference genome, FASTA format (e.g. UCSC hg19.fa)
Output file name.
Calculate and store summary stats for clustered subsets of the normal samples with similar coverage profiles.
Minimum cluster size to keep in reference profiles.
Specify the chromosomal sex of all given samples as male or female. (Default: guess each sample from coverage of X and Y chromosomes).
Create a male reference: shift female samples' chrX log-coverage by -1, so the reference chrX average is -1. Otherwise, shift male samples' chrX by +1, so the reference chrX average is 0.
