Human genomes are now being rapidly sequenced, but not all forms of genetic variation are
routinely characterized. In this study, we focus on Alu retrotransposition events and seek to …

The goal of the 1000 Genomes Consortium is to characterize human genome structural
variation (SV), including forms of copy number variations such as deletions, duplications …

Alu elements are transposable elements that have reached over one million copies in the
human genome. Some Alu elements inserted in the genome so recently that they are still …

Alu insertions have contributed to> 11% of the human genome and∼ 30–35 Alu subfamilies
remain actively mobile, yet the characterization of polymorphic Alu insertions from short-read …

Alu elements undergo amplification through retroposition and integration into new locations
throughout primate genomes. Over 500,000 Alu elements reside in the human genome …

Alu retrotransposons account for more than 10% of the human genome, and insertions of
these elements create structural variants segregating in human populations. Such …

Mobile elements such as Alu repeats have substantially altered the architecture of the
human genome, and de novo mobile element insertions sometimes cause genetic …

Alu retrotransposons are the most numerous and active mobile elements in humans,
causing genetic disease and creating genomic diversity. Mobile element scanning (ME …

Background Recombination rates vary widely across the human genome, but little of that
variation is correlated with known DNA sequence features. The genome contains more than …

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 …
