what should we do with conservation should we keep it or get rid of it?

Comment: I think that conservation is absolutely an important concept and should be kept. I use Wikipedia as a source for nursing science, which increasingly addresses genetic topics, and I'm happy to see more and more issues of cell biology appearing here. I know that the degree of conservation in a sequence is an important indicator of the significance it's had--I imagine that as more information about specific proteins comes onto wikipedia, an article on genetic conservation would be a useful "hub." The articles on conservation (genetics) and conserved sequences probably ought to be merged, because the materials on these pages seem to compliment each other. My favorite title for it would be "genetic conservation."--Paul bryner 07:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
