      Frith, Martin C.; Ponjavic, Jasmina; Fredman, David; Kai, Chikatoshi; Kawai, Jun; Carninci, Piero; Hayashizaki, Yoshihide; Sandelin, Albin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-05-06)
      Alignments of homologous genomic sequences are widely used to identify functional genetic elements and study their evolution. Most studies tacitly equate homology of functional elements with sequence homology. This assumption ...
