Allele Frequencies of Variants in Ultra Conserved Elements Identify Selective Pressure on Transcription Factor Binding

Ultra-conserved genes or elements (UCGs/UCEs) in the human genome are extreme examples of conservation. We characterized natural variations in 2884 UCEs and UCGs in two distinct populations; Singaporean Chinese (nā€Š=ā€Š280) and Italian (nā€Š=ā€Š501) by using a pooled sample, targeted capture, sequencing ap...
