Discovery of rare, diagnostic AluYb8/9 elements in diverse human populations

Abstract Background Polymorphic human Alu elements are excellent tools for assessing population structure, and new retrotransposition events can contribute to disease. Next-generation sequencing has greatly increased the potential to discover Alu elements in human populations, and various sequencing...
