  "summary": "Ultraconserved non-coding elements (UCEs) exhibit near-perfect sequence conservation across vertebrate genomes, implying severe evolutionary constraint and essential biological functions. Near the vertebrate Hoxd complex, a master regulator of axial patterning and limb morphogenesis, three Conserved Regions (CR1, CR2, and CR3), each longer than 200 bp, show exceptional sequence conservation and…",
