The loom of evolution

A new method makes it possible to locate points of similarity between gene control molecules of different species - from lizards to humans - and thus reveal essential sections that have been preserved throughout evolution
Different parts of the chaser gene (points marked by arrows) are mainly expressed in the cell nucleus of a mouse embryo (marked in blue). This fact supports the hypothesis that the chaser is involved in the control of gene activity
