Abstract excerpt
In this study, we assess the evolutionary relationships among different chromosomal copies of a subtelomeric block of sequence. This block contains homology to three olfactory receptor genes and is dispersed on at least 14 different chromosome ends in humans. It is single-copy in non-human primates. We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms in two 1 kb subregions and a polymorphic Alu insertion within 181...
