Abstract: BACKGROUND Alu insertions are bi-allelic and primate-specific, this makes them a useful marker for studying genetic variation, migration patterns, forensic analyses, paternity, and evolutionary heritage, however, specific population studies are limited. AIM The objective of… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Male dispersal from the natal group at or near maturity is a feature of most baboon (Papio) species. It potentially has profound effects upon population structure and evolutionary processes, but dispersal, especially for unusually… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract RNA splicing is a highly regulated process dependent on sequences near splice sites. Insertions of Alu retrotransposons can disrupt splice sites or bind splicing regulators. We hypothesized that some common inherited polymorphic Alu insertions… read more here.

Abstract: Alu are high copy number interspersed repeats that have accumulated near genes during primate and human evolution. They are a pervasive source of structural variation in modern humans. Impacts that Alu insertions may have on… read more here.
