Hello,

i have a list of DNA regions from mouse ESCs and I would like to know if these sequences are conserved also in Human. How can I do this?

you can use UCSC GB LiftOver tool

do you think it is enough?

That you will need to decide.

If the right regions are present in the dataset you could also look at precomputed information available here from JAX.

What i am doing i am lifting the coordinates of mouse to human as also the coordinates of human to mouse. Then on the lifted coordinates i calculate the conservation score using phasCons in UCSC table browser. I simulate also a set of sequences with similar GC content, size and nucleotide composition of the lifted sequences and I compute again the conservation score. Then i compare the conservation scores of these files..

Does this make sense?

Not sure why you are doing this so can't say.
