As is the case with the BLAST algorithm [ 34], the P-value of a given conserved element varies with the size of the search space, since one is more likely to find a given degree of conservation by random chance in a long alignment than in a short alignment.
In Figure 2 we present the percentage of pairs of genes for any given conservation score that we expect to be related based on the previously mentioned criteria.
The variation of EAGB among NFMPs within any given conservation area reveals the heterogeneity of EAGB across the five conservation areas (Figure 1).

Spatial optimisation methods can be applied to identify the most effective allocation of a given budget for conservation.
This matches well with previous studies (e.g. [ 30]), which propose that the conservation of a given motif position is correlated with the conservation of surrounding motif positions, producing clusters of well-conserved positions, which may aid TFBS motif discovery algorithms.
We quantified the conservation value of a given habitat type by using a "conservation value index", integrating the frequency of occurrence of each species in the considered habitat and their conservation status in Europe or in southern Belgium.
Different approaches have been proposed to quantify the importance of a given breed for the conservation of genetic diversity [ 7, 29].
If these constraints are efficient, then it is likely that comparing many strains of a given species will show conservation of a backbone of genes, with little disruption by invading horizontally transferred genes.
In this cycle of sacramental ideas and practices, the giving, conservation, and promotion of life, together with the establishment of a bond of union with the sacred order, are fundamental.
