Abstract excerpt
The genetic factors contributing to complex trait variation may reside in regulatory, rather than protein-coding portions of the genome. Within noncoding regions, SNPs in regulatory elements are more likely to contribute to phenotypic variation than those in nonregulatory regions. Thus, it is important to be able to identify and annotate noncoding regulatory elements. DNA conservation among diverged species...
