Evolution of ultraconserved elements by indels

2025-05-29

Abstract excerpt

Ultraconserved elements are segments of DNA that match identically in different species. Finding 100% identity over long evolutionary times is unexpected, but pioneering research in the human-mouse pairwise alignment uncovered something even more puzzling: these elements are not as rare as previously suspected, and their sizes are distributed as a power-law, a feature that cannot be explained by standard models of...
