however , not enough sequence data on genes and intergenic regions in dna of species of primates and other mammals as yet exist to know if the slow rate of 1 x 10 ( -9 ) reflects the rate of a conserved functional gene or primarily reflects a decelerated neutral rate of hominoid dna evolution , conceivably from enhanced dna repair and longer generation times in hominoids .
