title: [The SCAR DNA sequence family is enrichment in the evolution-conserved sequences].
abstract: Synaptonemal complex (SC) is a specific structure for prophase I of meiosis. Recently we have described synaptonemal complex tightly associated regions of DNA (SCARs DNA) as a particular family of genomic DNA. Now we reveal the evolutionary conservation of SCAR DNA sequences of vertebrates. This data correlates with universal morphology of SCs and similar processes proceed in prophase I of meiosis at representatives of different taxa.
