Abstract
A member of the Alu family, the dominant family of short interspersed repeated DNA sequences in primates, interrupts a cloned repeat unit of African green monkey .alpha.-satellite DNA. The Alu is immediately flanked by 13-base-pair duplications of the known sequence of the satellite at the site of insertion. These observations support the idea that Alu family members may be moveable elements.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
