Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that Alu and L1 elements are genetic characters that are essentially homoplasy-free, we sequenced a total of five human L1 elements and eleven recently integrated Alu elements from 160 chromosomes (80 individuals representing four diverse human populations). Analysis of worldwide samples at L1 loci revealed 292 segregating sites and a nucleotide diversity of 0.0050. For Ya5 Alu loci, there...
