REPETITIVE ALU GENOMIC SEQUENCES. “An Alu element is a short stretch of DNA originally characterized by the action of the Alu (Arthrobacter luteus) restriction endonuclease. Alu elements of different kinds occur in large numbers in primate genomes. In fact, Alu elements are the most abundant transposable elements in the human genome. Alu insertions have been implicated in several inherited human diseases and in various forms of cancer.”
