Genetic evidence for conserved non-coding element function across species--the ears have it
Comparison of genomic sequences from diverse vertebrate species has revealed numerous highly conserved regions that do not appear to encode proteins or functional RNAs. Often these conserved non-coding elements, or CNEs, direct gene expression to specific tissues in transgenic models, demonstrating...
