Conserved elements reveal vital spots in the noncoding, regulatory, portions of the genome 
When the NXF1 gene functions properly (left), RNA molecules (orange dots) of a particular single-exon gene are exported from the nucleus (purple) into the cytoplasm; when the NXF1 is silenced (right), the RNAs are largely stuck within the nucleus
