Sequence correlation between neighboring Alu instances suggests post-retrotransposition sequence exchange due to Alu gene conversion.

Gene - 1 Apr 2007

Zhi Degui

Abstract excerpt

Alu elements constitute 10% of the human genome. Alu mobilization is important in the evolution of the human genome. While retrotransposition is the primary pathway of Alu mobilization, Alu gene conversion has been postulated as a secondary pathway for Alu mobilization in human genome. However, the mode and tempo of Alu gene conversions remain a mystery due to lack of sensitive statistical methods. In this paper,...
