Conserved noncoding elements. (A) A highly conserved noncoding element (red star) in an intron of unc-2, as identified by phastCons and passing all of our filters, is a possible promoter element. Conserved PS1010 elements are typically subsets of the conserved elements shared between Elegans group genomes. (B) The most statistically significant predicted motif from the highly conserved noncoding elements (motif 1-1) (Table 2) is equivalent to the slr-2/jmjc-1-responsive motif of Kirienko and Fay (2010). (C) A functionally uncharacterized motif (1-8) closely resembles motif 4 of Beer and Tavazoie (2004).
