Abstract Background Genomic comparisons between human and distant, non-primate mammals are commonly used to identify cis -regulatory elements based on constrained sequence evolution. However, these...

Primate-specific evolution of an LDLR enhancer (2006)

Wang, Qian-fei, Prabhakar, Shyam, Wang, Qianben, Moses, Alan M, Chanan, Sumita, Brown, Myles, ...

Background Sequence changes in regulatory regions have often been invoked to explain phenotypic divergence among species, but molecular examples of this have been difficult to obtain. Results In this...
