Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The L1 retrotransposable element family is the most successful self-replicating genomic parasite of the human genome. L1 elements drive replication of Alu elements, and both have had far-reaching impacts on the human genome. We use L1 and Alu insertion polymorphisms to analyze human population structure. METHODS: We genotyped 75 recent, polymorphic L1 insertions in 317 individuals from 21...
