Alu element mutation spectra: molecular clocks and the effect of DNA methylation.

Journal of molecular biology - 26 Nov 2004

Xing Jinchuan, Hedges Dale J, Han Kyudong, Wang Hui, Cordaux Richard, Batzer Mark A

Abstract excerpt

In primate genomes more than 40% of CpG islands are found within repetitive elements. With more than one million copies in the human genome, the Alu family of retrotransposons represents the most successful short interspersed element (SINE) in primates and CpG dinucleotides make up about 20% of A...
