For example, they argued that genetic differences between groups were functionally important for certain jobs or tasks.
The conservation of this domain, including the prolines, suggests that it is a functionally important motif.
First, sequence conservation among closely related yeast species was used to find sequences that were more likely to be functionally important.
The other is that conserved regions known to be functionally important can be found.
The fact that a position is highly rewarded does not necessarily mean it is functionally important.
Conservation programs can now obtain measurements of genetic diversity at functionally important genes due to advances in technology.
This is functionally important to the bat, as it stabilizes the bat's estimate of echo arrival time, its cue for target distance.
However, it has been known for a long time that these regions do contain functionally important elements such as promoters and enhancers.
These findings are functionally important for two reasons.
Another functionally important ion pump is the sodium-calcium exchanger.
