Abstract:Actively retrotransposing primate-specific Alu repeats display insertion-deletion (InDel) polymorphism through their insertion at new loci. In the global datasets, Indian populations remain under-represented and so do their Alu InDels. Here, we report the genomic landscape of Alu InDels from the recently released 1021 Indian Genomes (IndiGen) (available at https://clingen.igib.res.in/indigen). We identified 9239 polymorphic Alu insertions that include private (3831), rare (3974) and common (1434) insertions wi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
