The role of recombination in the origin and evolution of Alu subfamilies.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Teixeira-Silva Ana, Silva Raquel M, Carneiro João, Amorim António, Azevedo Luísa

Abstract excerpt

Alus are the most abundant and successful short interspersed nuclear elements found in primate genomes. In humans, they represent about 10% of the genome, although few are retrotransposition-competent and are clustered into subfamilies according to the source gene from which they evolved. Recombination between them can lead to genomic rearrangements of clinical and evolutionary significance. In this study, we...
