A method is described for efficiently searching non-coding DNA for known control elements. Short conserved DNA sequences can be identified among 3 or more species by selecting DNA sequences from species having a total genetic distance larger than one substitution per site at a neutrally evolving region and calculating the total substitutions using pair-wise genetic distances, with the pairs for comparison selected based on phylogenetic relationships.
