We generalize the notion of ultraconserved element in a natural way from extraordinary human-rodent conservation to extraordinary conservation over an arbitrary set of species.

In fact, these so-called "ultraconserved" regions are about 300 times less likely than other regions of the genome to be lost during mammalian evolution, according to research from Bejerano and graduate student Cory McLean published in the Oct. 2 issue of

Reference [3] refers to a letter ( 'letter', not research) published in Nature Genetics in 2005 and written by 11 duly authoritative scientists insisting that these ultraconserved elements are "selectively constrained" (i.e., ultraselected) instead of being somehow protected from mutation.

Despite proximity to 'normally' mutating coding or expression elements, the ultraconserved elements experience NO mutations.

We observe ultraconserved, ultraselected sequences with no apparent effect on fitness of the organism.

But in a new study by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute, knockout mice with deleted ultraconserved elements showed virtually no ill effects.
