PopAlu: population-scale discovery of Alu polymorphisms

2015-06-12

Abstract excerpt

Alu elements are sequences of approximately 300 basepairs that combined comprise more than 10% of the human genome. Due to their recent origin in primate evolution some Alu elements are polymorphic in humans, present in some individuals while absent in others. We present PopAlu, a tool to detect polymorphic Alu elements on a population scale from paired-end sequencing data. PopAlu uses read pair distance and orien...
