An Alu element is a short stretch of DNA originally characterized by the action of the Arthrobacter luteus (Alu) restriction endonuclease. Alu elements...

Alu element and LINE allows SINE copy and pasting. SVA elements are present at lower levels than SINES and LINEs in humans. The starts of SVA and Alu...

play an important role in disease development. Porphyria Insertion of Alu element into the PBGD gene leads to interference with the coding region and leads...

genome, making Alu elements transposons. The Alu element that is observed to catalyze taillessness in TBXT is AluY. While normally Alu elements are not...

endogenous element that SINE was derived from and was able to parasitically utilize its transcriptional machinery. For example, the 5' of the Alu sine is...

can be primed by RNA, including RNA hairpin primers produced by the Alu element. As with other transposable elements, the host organism keeps a heavy...

Mischke M, Wiegand S, Sers C, Horsthemke B, Lau S, et al. (2012). "An Alu element-associated hypermethylation variant of the POMC gene is associated with...

thousand copies of Alu repetitive element in human genome, which means one Alu element exists in 4 to 6 kb averagely. Alu elements are distributed widely...

Alu element insertion is selected, amplified and evaluated in terms of size of the fragment. The sex assay utilizes AluSTXa for the X chromosome, AluSTYa...

chromosome 13 in humans. Polymerase chain reaction studies have found Alu element insertions, small pieces of genetic code in genomes, can infer primate...
