`A` | a region set in any of the accepted formats by `toGRanges` (`GenomicRanges`, `data.frame`, etc...)
`B` | a region set in any of the accepted formats by `toGRanges` (`GenomicRanges`, `data.frame`, etc...)

### Value

It returns a `GenomicRanges` object with the regions present in both region sets.
