Genomic regions conserved during evolution are important, but they have been ignored in conservation genetics. Managing deleterious mutations in such ultraconserved elements by genomics-informed conservation would make populations more resilient to future genetic drift.

突变负荷是物种保护的幽灵。

进化过程中保守的基因组区域很重要，但是在保护遗传学中却被忽略了。通过基因组学上的保守性管理这种超保守元件中的有害突变，将使种群对未来的遗传漂移更具弹性。
