Alu elements: know the SINEs.

Genome biology - 28 Dec 2011

Deininger Prescott

Abstract excerpt

Alu elements are primate-specific repeats and comprise 11% of the human genome. They have wide-ranging influences on gene expression. Their contribution to genome evolution, gene regulation and disease is reviewed.
