Patterns of evolutionary constraints on genes in humans
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Different regions in a genome evolve at different rates depending on structural and functional constraints. Some genomic regions are highly conserved during metazoan evolution, while other regions may evolve rapidly, either in all sp...
