Abstract excerpt
An earlier search in the human, mouse and rat genomes for sequences that are 100% conserved in orthologous segments and > or = 200 bp in length identified 481 distinct sequences. These human-mouse-rat sequences, which represent ultraconserved elements (UCEs), are believed to be important for functions involving DNA binding, RNA processing and the regulation of transcription and development. In vivo and additional...
