Alu-associated enhancement of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human genome.

Gene - 1 Mar 2006

Ng Siu-Kin, Xue Hong

Abstract excerpt

Identifying features shaping the architecture of sequence variations is important for understanding genome evolution and mapping disease loci. In this study, high-resolution scanning of Alu-centered alignments of the human genome sequences has revealed a striking elevation of the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the body and tail of Alu sequences compared to flanking regions. This enhancement...
