The strength of selection on ultraconserved elements in the human genome.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Apr 2007

Chen Christina T L, Wang Jen C, Cohen Barak A

Abstract excerpt

Ultraconserved elements are stretches of consecutive nucleotides that are perfectly conserved in multiple mammalian genomes. Although these sequences are identical in the reference human, mouse, and rat genomes, we identified numerous polymorphisms within these regions in the human population. To...
