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 Ala family members may be moveable elements.
灵长类动物中短散布重复DNA序列的主要家族——Alu家族的一个成员,打断了非洲绿猴α卫星DNA的一个克隆重复单元。在插入位点,Alu两侧紧邻着卫星已知序列的13个碱基对重复序列。这些观察结果支持了Alu家族成员可能是可移动元件的观点。
