  1. ...of families 1 and 2, and consists of an 8 nt stretch of seemingly random sequence. Two BPJs are located within matching repeats: BPJ 1 in family 3, as well as BPJ 1 in family 5. In both cases, the matched repeats are Alu elements. None of the BPJs carry signatures of small deletions.View this table...
  2. ...CNVs, we emphasize a potentially underappreciated role of Alu in causing variants in these genes as AAMR events are easily missed by routine short-read genomic sequencing techniques.View this table: In this window In a new window Table 2. Human disease-associated genes in predicted AAMR hotspots...
  3. ...were merged as previously described (Chiang et al. 2017). Additionally, we ran MELT v2.1.4 using MELT-SPLIT to identify Alu, SVA, and LINE-1 insertions into the test s (Gardner et al. 2017). We retained MELT calls categorized as “PASS” in the VCF info field that had an ASSESS score of three or more...
  4. ...-specificity of regulatory elements and genes. Further, the putatively different mechanisms of phenotypic effects of deletions compared to insertions or duplications complicates a generalized approach for variant effect prediction, as the effect can be mediated by copy number alterations of redundant or unique genomic...
  5. ...HMAR) ( Fig. 6 C; Supplemental Tables S14 , S15 ). Similar differences were observed at the gene expression level, with the highest transcriptional activity outside HMARs ( Fig. 6 C). Regarding DNA methylation, Alu repeats showed slightly different behaviors inside and outside HMAR: Lower levels...
  6. ...distinct categories of Alu subfamilies are recognized (Mills et al. 2007) with AluYa5 and AluYb8 being most active in the human lineage (Carroll et al. 2001). Alu retrotranspositions have numerous consequences leading to insertional mutations, gene conversion, recombination, alterations in gene expression...
  7. ...from mutating the left half of the Alu structure. Several of the random right halves selected from old, Sx, Alu subfamily members negatively impacted insertion efficiency while others did not. These influences were post-transcriptional as we did not alter the promoter and saw only minimal variation...
  8. ...within gene promoters, enhancers, and introns and have been shown to play key roles in gene regulation (Batzer and Deininger 2002; Deininger 2011). In addition, Alu sequences are often silenced by mechanisms that are not fully understood, which could in part be mediated by transcriptional repressors...
  9. .... In one case, a validated novel singleton Alu interrupts a proteincoding exon of FAM187B. This implies that exonic Alu insertions are generally deleterious and thus eliminated by natural selection, but not so quickly that they cannot be observed as extremely rare variants. [Supplemental material...
  10. ...contributed an extra layer of species-specific gene regulation by providing novel transcription factor binding sites. In humans, SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) elements are one of three still active TE families; approximately 2800 SVA insertions exist in the human , half of which are human-specific. TEs are often...
