Given BAM file and its BAI file, how can I calculate the TMB for the patient? This bam file is the result of target sequencing, so I would like to calculate the TMB over the genomic region of interest. Is there any package or software that can do this?

Tumour mutation burden is calculated by counting the number of somatic mutations above a threshold frequency in data derived from whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing (WES) or panel sequencing and dividing by the size of the target region [20]
