Figure 1From: A new measurement of sequence conservationThe two types of conserved regions. The three horizontal lines represent the orthologous sequences in human, mouse and rat. The small boxes with the same color on each line represent the corresponding conserved segments in different species. The regions between two dotted lines are the conserved regions. (A). A contiguously conserved region. (B) A conserved region with interspersed conserved segments.Back to article page
