Abstract excerpt
Ultraconserved elements (UCEs) are among the most popular DNA markers for phylogenomic analysis. In at least three of five placental mammalian genomes (human, dog, cow, mouse, and rat), 2189 UCEs of at least 200 bp in length that are identical have been identified. Most of these regions have not yet been functionally annotated, and their associations with diseases remain largely unknown. This is an important...
