Small fitness effect of mutations in highly conserved non-coding regions.
Human molecular genetics - 1 Aug 2005
Kryukov Gregory V, Schmidt Steffen, Sunyaev Shamil
Abstract excerpt
Comparison of human and mouse genomes has revealed that many non-coding regions have levels of sequence conservation similar to protein-coding genes. These regions have attracted a lot of attention as potentially functional genomic sequences. However, little is known about the effect mutations in these conserved non-coding regions have on fitness and how many of them are present in the human genome as deleterious...
