Hi Jason,

Thanks for this information. I will go through this.

In case if somebody land this page from google using similar queries :
Please note that as I wanted this analysis to be completed asap, I
extracted genes in the chromosome regions using BioMart and used
List::Compare based methods to get the desired results.

Thanks,
Shameer
