Re: Conservative region of a gene

I can speculate on several reasons why knowing whether a SNP is in a conserved region could be useful. First, conserved regions are likely to encode a useful functional motif of a protein. Evolutionary theory suggests that conserved regions vary less because their ...

This region does not contain any genes and so is the most variable region in the mitochondrial genome. It ...
