strand information on the output bed file #7

Thanks for your effort in making this great tool! I checked the output from pb-CpG-tools and found that there's no strand information. Does the program merge the information from both strands and use the genomic coordinate of the positive strand?

The data is not stranded, i.e. the direction of a HiFi read is arbitrary and we detect symmetric CpG. Therefore we merge the stands in the pileup to increase the signal. Yes, coordinates are reported on the positive strand.
