1Distal: distance from nearest annotated exon > 10 kb

210 kb: distance from nearest annotated exon is less than 10 kb but longer than 1 kb

31 kb: distance from nearest annotated exon is less than 1 kb but do not overlap with exons

4 Genome annotation was based on NCBI assembly 34 downloaded from Ensembl.
