A nucleotide or protein sequence which is shared between different regions or organisms, typically because the sequence fulfills an important function (e.g. a DNA-binding site or protein motif) and thus is retained during evolution.
A DNA sequence or an amino acid sequence that has remained essentially unchanged during evolution. The degree of conservation is often vaguely described by phrases like "highly conserved" or "partially conserved".
A DNA sequence that has remained virtually unchanged throughout evolution. This is usually taken to imply that the sequence has an important function.
A sequence of bases in a DNA molecule (or an amino acid sequence in a protein) that has remained essentially unchanged during evolution.
O¦u§Ç¦C, A base sequence in a DNA molecule (or an amino acid sequence in a protein) that has remained essentially unchanged throughout evolution.
A DNA (or amino acid) sequence that has remained relatively unchanged throughout evolution. Such a sequence is under selective pressure and therefore resistant to change.
A sequence within DNA or protein that is consistent across species or has remained unchanged within the species over its evolutionary period.
In biology, a conserved sequence is a DNA or protein sequence which is similar or even identical across multiple species, indicating that this sequence has been maintained by evolution despite speciation. The further back up the phylogenetic tree one goes the more conserved a sequence is. In other words a conserved sequence has a high degree of sequence identity to other sequences between species.
