Abstract excerpt

Dispersion of repetitive sequence elements is a source of genetic variability that contributes to genome evolution. Alu elements, the most common dispersed repeats in the human genome, can cause genetic diseases by several mechanisms, including de novo Alu insertions and splicing of intragenic Al...
