8PRACTICE PROBLEM
One of the ways to identify the regulatory elements that control gene expression is to perform a comparative genomic analysis of the regions surrounding the gene in different species. This is based on the assumption that regulatory elements are more conserved than non-regulatory elements due to their functional importance.
What is the initial step in identifying regulatory elements expressed in various orthologous genes of the different species?
