Genomic rearrangements result in genomic duplications that lead to the generation of more
complex genomes. Some attempts have been made to trace duplication histories of different …

Alu sequences represent the largest family of short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs)
in humans with 500 000 copies per genome. Recently, one Alu subfamily was found to be …

Transposable elements colonize genomes and with time may end up being incorporated
into functional regions. SINE Alu elements, which appeared in the primate lineage, are …

Abstract Most polymorphic Alu insertions (POALINs) belong to a subgroup of the Alu
multicopy retrotransposon family of short interspersed nucleotide elements (SINEs) that are …

Background: Alu insertions provide useful markers for the study of inter-population affinities
and historical processes, but data on these systems are not numerous in Native Americans …

There are estimated to be~ 1000 members of the Ya5 Alu subfamily of retroposons in
humans. This Subfamily has a distribution restricted to humans, with a few copies in gorillas …

Alu elements are non-autonomous, non-LTR retroposons that represent the most abundant
mobile elements in the human genome (1.1× 10 6 copies/genome). They preferentially …

Long and short interspersed elements (LINEs and SINEs) are retroelements that make up
almost half of the human genome. L1 and Alu represent the most prolific human LINE and …

Recombination between homologous, but non-allelic, stretches of DNA such as gene
families, segmental duplications and repeat elements is an important source of mutation. In …
