Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of six Malays sub-ethnic groups in peninsular Malaysia as inferred from autosomal Alu insertion polymorphism / Azzura Abdullah

Alu insertion polymorphsims is referred to those relatively several elements that presence in the genomes of some individuals and absence from others. The insertions of Alu elements are approximately 300 bp in length that mobilise via the process of retroposition. Alu insertion has several advantage...
