Funding: We thank Tom Gingeras for permission to use the Affymetrix transcriptional fragments for the SK-N-AS cell line prior to publication; Doug Smith for permission to use preliminary D. virilis and D. mojavensis assemblies, and Karin Remington for permission to use a preliminary D. ananassae assembly to check our insect results; Krishna Roskin for preparing Figure 6; Shan Yang and John Karro for looking at correlations of conserved elements with local rates of neutral human/mouse substitutions; Elliott Margulies for sharing his manuscript with us ahead of publication; Ivan Ovcharenko, Chuck Sugnet, and Ross Hardison for helpful conversations; Stefan Bekiranov for comments on the manuscript; and the anonymous reviewers for their especially thorough reading of the manuscript and their insightful suggestions.
