Summary Introduction

To explain: How does a mobile gene element like Alu sequence affect a nearby gene.

Concept introduction: An Alu (arthrobacter luteus) element is a short DNA sequence characterized by its action upon Alu restriction endonuclease. They contain a large content of CpG dinucleotides serving as an important site for methylation, as 30% of the whole methylation in the human genome takes place in this part. Alu elements are the most common site of mutation in the human genome.
