Conservation of the Homeobox
In the early 1980s Drosophila geneticists started sequencing the DNA from the homeotic genes. Much to their surprise they found that all the homeotic genes contained a 180-basepair region.

Conservation: Identical parts of genes that are present in two distinct organisms are said to be conserved. Conservation can be detected by measuring the similarity of the two sequences at the base (RNA or DNA) or amino-acid (protein) level.

The conservation of biological diversity has become a global concern. Although not everybody agrees on extent and significance of current extinction, most consider biodiversity essential.

Structural analysis of Hh-N provided initial excitement as it revealed a striking conservation with zinc hydrolases, suggesting that the Hh ligand might have an enzymatic activity (Hall et al. 1995).

A plot showing the regions of high conservation will presumably reflect the regions that are functional in all the test species. In theory, the more species involved in the comparison, the more stringent the result can be (i.e.
