Approach Extract all annotated exons (Refseq and KnownGene) in region plus buffer (200KB up & down stream. Extract all conserved elements with conservation score no lower than the average exon conservation score. Generate a primer tailing of the target elements tailored to the sequencing read size provided by the sequencing technology used.
