Since you probably didnt acquire the ngs data yourself, make sure that you use the raw counts and not some already normalised or logtransformed values. Running htseq count in intersectionstrict or intersectionnotempty modes instead of union mode did not cause it count more fragments.
In other words, a gene is considered as a union of all its exons. Once you reached that point, you will have 6 bam files 3 bam files for normal and 3 bam files for tumor. For rnaseq, this is commonly used to count reads aligning to exons, while for chipseq this is used to count reads over a promoter or other region of interest. Its just a feature type so htseq count would know what features to count for. Counting gene features with htseq this step will take the longest time, computationally, out of the entire workflow.
