      The causes and consequences of genome reduction in animals are unclear because our understanding of this process mostly relies on lineages with often exceptionally high rates of evolution. Here, we decode the compact ...
    • Dissecting the Transcriptional Regulatory Properties of Human Chromosome 16 Highly Conserved Non-Coding Regions 

      Royo, José Luis; Hidalgo, Carmen; Roncero, Yolanda; Seda, María Angeles; Akalin, Altuna; Lenhard, Boris; Casares, Fernando; Gómez-Skarmeta, José Luis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-13)
      Non-coding DNA conservation across species has been often used as a predictor for transcriptional enhancer activity. However, only a few systematic analyses of the function of these highly conserved non-coding regions ...
