Sentence examples for blocks of conservation from inspiring English sources
The human perception of nature is one of the building blocks of conservation policies.
The blocks of conservation are separated by regions of variable sizes where genes show no conservation of order.
Based on the low levels of gene order conservation in other green algal mitochondrial genomes, we might expect to see few blocks of conservation between Helicosporidium and Prototheca.
Moreover, we found that the PUF motifs in PUM1 and PUM2 targets reside in longer (400 nucleotides) blocks of conservation compared to PUF motifs in non-targets.
This approach was employed because examination of known photoreceptor CREs demonstrated that, in many cases, blocks of conservation were found to encompass only a single binding site (e.g., the rightmost Crx site in Fig. 3B).
Lukens et al. [ 6] identified 34 blocks of conservation between Brassica an Arabidopsis.
We used as measure of evolutionary conservation the phastCons score [54] representing the probability that a given nucleotide is part of a block of conservation, given the genome alignments of a number of placental mammals (human, chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, bush baby, treeshrew, rat, mouse, guinea pig, rabbit, shrew, hedgehog, dog, cat, horse, cow, armadillo, elephant and tenrec).
We examined the human MMP-1 promoter for sequence conservation, and found blocks of conserved elements in the proximal promoter region.
Using computational genomics, we identified four putative CRMs within this region, similar to the blocks of sequence conservation discovered by Miller et al. (2007), that are conserved in position and sequence between mouse and fugu (fig. 1 A).
