Abstract
There is great emphasis on cataloguing functional elements in the human genome. However, we understand little of their evolution, their grammar or the mechanisms by which they regulate gene expression. Rather than the current trend, encouraged by high throughput technologies, of collecting these elements, I am interested in discovering how a particular set of highly conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) have evolved, how they mediate their function and what their role might be in shaping phenotype and genetic disease.
