During the past 65 million years, Alu elements have propagated to more than one million
copies in primate genomes, which has resulted in the generation of a series of Alu …

Alu insertional elements, the most abundant class of SINEs in humans are dimeric
sequences approximately 300 bp in length derived from the 7SL RNA gene. These …

The scientific contribution in this communication is threefold:(i) the presentation of new
evidence or early, pre-19th century large earthquakes in the Himalaya,(ii) the preliminary …

Abstract L1 (LINE-1) elements constitute a large family of mammalian retrotransposons that
have been replicating and evolving in mammals for more than 100 Myr and now compose …

Since the late 1800s, blood quantum has been used by the US Department of the Interior,
the BIA, and many tribal governments to determine eligibility (although not always as a sole …

The peopling of the New World has been the focus of anthropological attention since the last
century. Proponents of multiple migration models have claimed that patterns of variation …

The limited morphometric work on early American crania to date has treated them as a
single, temporally defined group. This paper addresses the question of whether there is …

We have analyzed 35 widely distributed, polymorphic Alu loci in 715 individuals from 31
world populations. The average frequency of Alu insertions (the derived state) is lowest in …

An analysis of 11 Alu insertion polymorphisms (ACE, TPA25, PV92, APO, FXIIIB, D1, A25,
B65, HS2. 43, HS3. 23, and HS4. 65) has been performed in several NW African (Northern …

The insertion of mobile elements into the genome represents a new class of genetic markers
for the study of human evolution. Long interspersed elements (LINEs) have amplified to a …
