Widespread ultraconservation divergence in primates.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2008

Ovcharenko Ivan

Abstract excerpt

The distribution and evolution of ultraconserved elements (UCEs, DNA stretches that are perfectly identical in primates and rodents) were examined in genomes of 3 primate species (human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque). It was found that the number of UCEs has decreased throughout primate evolution. At least 26% of ancestral UCEs have diverged in hominoids, whereas an additional 17% have accumulated one or more...
