Hi Dafil,

Using the Table Browser, you can obtain the upstream and downstream 
regions around the centromeres and telomeres in two separate queries 
(one for upstream and one for downstream). Click on "Tables" on the blue 
bar on the top of the main page, select the hg18 human assembly, and 
then make the following selections:
    group: mapping and sequencing tracks
    track: gap
    table: gap
    region: genome
    filter: click "create"; enter "centromere telomere" (no quotes) in 
the "type does match" box; click submit.
    output format: custom track
    output file: enter the name you want the data to have (e.g. 
upstreamRegions)
Click "get output." Enter a name and description for your custom track 
(such as " name=upstreamRegions" and "description=upstream from 
Telomeres and Centromeres"), select "Upstream by," and enter the number 
of upstream bases you want in the adjacent field. Click "get custom 
track in file" for a the list of positions upstream of centromeres and 
telomeres. Save the file.  Repeat the same process for the downstream 
regions except name appropriately and select "Downstream by" and enter 
the number of downstream bases in the adjacent field.

Now you should have two files, one with regions upstream of the 
centromeres and telomeres and one with regions downstream of the 
centromeres and telomeres.

I hope this information is helpful.
