Vertebrate conserved non coding DNA regions have a high persistence length and a short persistence time

Philipp Bucher

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The comparison of complete genomes has revealed surprisingly large numbers of conserved non-protein-coding (CNC) DNA regions. However, the biological function of CNC remains elusive. CNC differ in two aspects from conserved protein-co ...

Numerous potentially functional but non-genic conserved sequences on human chromosome 21

Philipp Bucher

The use of comparative genomics to infer genome function relies on the understanding of how different components of the genome change over evolutionary time. The aim of such comparative analysis is to identify conserved, functionally transcribed sequences ...
