Abstract excerpt
The AluYb8 sequences are a subfamily of short interspersed Alu retroelements that have been amplified within the human genome during recent evolutionary time and are useful polymorphic markers for studies on the origin of human populations. We have identified a new member of the Yb8 subfamily, AluyHG, located between the HLA-H and -G genes and 88-kb telomeric of the highly polymorphic HLA-A gene within the alpha...
