Conserved RNA Structures (CRSs) in the vertebrate genome

We computationally screened the genomes in the UCSC 100-species vertebrate tree for conserved RNA structures (CRSs), leveraging structure-based, rather than sequence-based, alignments. After careful correction for sequence identity and GC content, we predict ~520k human genomic regions containing CRSs.
