Abstract Alu elements are highly abundant primate-specific short interspersed nuclear elements that account for ~10% of the human genome. Due to their preferential location in gene-rich regions, especially in introns and 3′ UTRs, Alu elements can exert regulatory effects on the expression of both ho...
