::::::Or are you suggesting a separate article on CNE's (ultraconserved elements)?
::::::If there's strong objection to blanking this article on conserved non-coding sequence then should we add sections on the really important conserved non-coding DNA such as: centromeres, telomeres, SARs, non-coding genes, regulatory sequences, and origins of replication? All of those are covered in [[Non-coding DNA]]. [[User:Genome42|Genome42]] ([[User talk:Genome42|talk]]) 14:52, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
::::::Keep in mind that the underlying issue here is the completely arbitrary distinction between coding DNA and non-coding DNA. It's based on the idea that at one time scientists thought that all functional DNA elements were located in coding DNA. That hasn't been true for 60 years.
::::::This is why we have so many papers in the scientific literature proclaiming to have discovered some new functional DNA element in non-coding DNA as though that's a revolutionary thought.
::::::We could just as easily divide the genome into centromeres and non-centromeres and write an article on conserved non-centromeric DNA as if that was something worthwhile. [[User:Genome42|Genome42]] ([[User talk:Genome42|talk]]) 15:07, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
