RESUMO

27 predicted gene-regulatory regions in the Drosophila melanogaster genome were analyzed in vivo, confirming 15 active enhancer regions. A comparison with Drosophila pseudoobscura sequences revealed that conservation of binding-site clusters accurately discriminates functional regions from non-functional ones.
