Exon annotations are from the March 2008 Ensembl gene build (Release 49).
Promoter regions are definied as the 1500 bp interval upstream of the first annotated exon.
ECR positions were obtained from ECRbase (http://ecrbase.dcode.org/) and described in:

and Transcription Factor Binding Sites in Vertebrate Genomes

The T3 tail sequence is appended to the 5' end of the forward primer and T7 sequence is appended to the 5' end of the reverse primer. This affords sequencing independent PCR products with conventional sequencing primers for high-throughput.
