Maximum likelihood tree based on the sequences of human and NWMAlu elements (Fig. 2). The classification of Alu62and Alu63 in the Sc subfamily is supported by their grouping with Alu29 of the HLA-DRB2 gene. Sequences ofAlu50 from the HLA-DRB1*03011 gene and ofAlu29 from the HLA-DRB2 gene are highlighted.
