The phrase "a much more conserved" is not correct as it lacks context and clarity.
It can be used when comparing the conservation of two or more items, but it should be part of a more complete sentence for clarity.
Example: "The gene sequence in this species is a much more conserved element compared to its relatives."
Alternatives: "significantly more conserved" or "far more conserved".
While hblCDAB was subject to extensive horizontal gene transfer (see Fig. 1 and Additional file 2: Figure S2), hblCDA a seems to have been transferred vertically due to a much more conserved tree topology (Fig. 4a and Additional file 2: Figure S2).
In contrast, the majority of H. jecorina strains showed a much more conserved quantitative pattern of growth on these carbon sources, yet with a significantly lower growth rate (except C.P.K. 938 and C.P.K. 160).
Hence, putative CREs in a CRM as a whole are much more conserved than the randomly selected NCRs, and also more conserved than spacer sequences in the putative CRMs.
Results: This paper presents a novel global network alignment algorithm, denoted as HubAlign, that makes use of both network topology and sequence homology information, based upon the observation that topologically important proteins in a PPI network usually are much more conserved and thus, more likely to be aligned.
By contrast, the right peaks for single putative CREs in CDRs and the randomly selected short k-mers are much larger than their own left peaks, indicating that there are much more conserved short sequences than non-conserved ones in CDRs, which is expected as most CDRs are highly conserved.
The phylogenetic tree inferred from this alignment displays a dichotomous topology reminiscent of those of the much more conserved tail structural proteins, albeit with additional subclusters and more dispersed branches (fig. 6).
The TLR2 intracellular domains were generally much more conserved through strong purifying selection, reaching maximum conservation in the TIR domain with ω < 0.1 for the vast majority of sites.
It is nevertheless striking that a sizeable but clearly defined patch on one surface of three tandem HEAT repeats is much more conserved than all others, a region close to but not enclosing the N-terminal nose (Figs. 1B, 5A, and Fig. 1-fig.sup.3).sup.3
For positions that are much more conserved, the joint probability between them and other less conserved positions is approximately equal to the product of the individual probabilities of the latter position, resulting in low MI (see Equation 1 in Methods).
These results indicate that analogously to the genetic code, which is more conserved than protein-coding DNA (Moura et al., 2010), the gene regulatory code is much more conserved than the regulatory sequences themselves.
Once a numt is established in its descendants' nuclear DNA, it would be much more conserved than the mitochondrial haplotype because the mitochondrial cyt-b mutates faster than its numt.
