Genomic database mining has been a very useful aid in the identification and retrieval of
recently integrated Alu elements from the human genome. We analyzed Alu elements …

Alu repeats are the most abundant family of repeats in the human genome, with over 1
million copies comprising 10% of the genome. They have been implicated in human genetic …

Abstract Background The primate-specific Alu elements, which originated 65 million years
ago, exist in over a million copies in the human genome. These elements have been …

Alu elements, the largest family of interspersed repeats, mobilize throughout the genomes of
primates by retroposition. Alu are present in humans in an excess of 500 000 copies per …

Alu elements are the most abundant transposable elements in the human genome. They
contain characteristic cryptic splice sites that are used under rare circumstances, such that …

Background Alu elements are the most abundant retrotransposable elements comprising~
11% of the human genome. Many studies have highlighted the role that Alu elements have …

At least 25 African‐derived populations (quilombo remnants) are believed to exist in the
Ribeira River Valley, located in the southern part of São Paulo State, Brazil. We studied four …

It is generally thought that only a few Alu elements are capable of retrotransposition and that
these 'master'sources produce inactive copies. Here, we use a network phylogenetic …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have allowed for the cataloguing of variation in
personal human genomes. In this manuscript, we present alu-detect, a tool that combines …

Mobile elements have created structural variation in the human genome through their de
novo insertions and post-insertional genomic rearrangements. L1 elements are a type of …
