| Summary |
Conservation score based on the multiple alignment of 20 species
|
| Description |
PhastCons score is a measure used to assess the level of evolutionary conservation of genomic sequences. This score is derived from a method called PHAST (Phylogenetic Analysis with Space/Time models), which uses multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees to identify conserved elements across different species. phastCons20way refers to a specific set of PhastCons conservation scores derived from a multiple sequence alignment of the genomes of 20 different species. PhastCons scores typically range from 0 to 1. A score closer to 1 suggests high conservation, implying that the sequence has remained largely unchanged through evolution, likely due to selective pressure to maintain its function. A score closer to 0 indicates low conservation, suggesting that the sequence is less critical or more variable across species.
