Insertion and deletion polymorphisms of the ancient AluS family in the human genome

Insertion and deletion polymorphisms of the ancient AluS family in the human genome

Abstract Background Polymorphic Alu elements account for 17% of structural variants in the human genome. The majority of these belong to the youngest AluY subfamilies, and most structural variant discovery efforts have focused on identifying Alu polymorphisms from these currently retrotranspositiona...
