Abstract excerpt
The molecular foundations of evolution are difficult to trace because most protein sequences are virtually identical in closely related species. The largest fraction of sequence within the genome, however, is composed of noncoding sequences where regulatory elements locate to various sites. It has been suggested that changes in the activity of these elements may trigger evolutionary change. In Drosophila, the...
