PY - 2016 DA - 2016/09/20 TI - A method for identification of highly conserved elements and evolutionary analysis of superphylum Alveolata JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - 385 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Perfectly or highly conserved DNA elements were found in vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants by various methods. However, little is known about such elements in protists. The evolutionary distance between apicomplexans can be very high, in particular, due to the positive selection pressure on them. This complicates the identification of highly conserved elements in alveolates, which is overcome by the proposed algorithm.
