An analysis of human Alu element lineages
The Alu Ya and Yb-lineages are distinct groups of Short INterspersed Elements (SINEs) found exclusively in primates. These lineages are comprised of several distinct subfamilies, which contain elements that are evolutionarily-related because they share common diagnostic mutations. Some of these Alu …

Alu retrotransposition-mediated genomic variation within the primate order
Retrotransposons are an active family of mobile elements within primate genomes and the Short INterspersed Element (SINE) Alu is the most abundant member. These non-autonomous elements are responsible for introducing genomic diversity on an intra- and inter- species level that is useful in studies …
