Analysis of lineage-specific Alu subfamilies in the genome of the olive baboon, Papio anubis

Abstract Background Alu elements are primate-specific retroposons that mobilize using the enzymatic machinery of L1 s. The recently completed baboon genome project found that the mobilization rate of Alu elements is higher than in the genome of any other primate studied thus far. However, the Alu su...
