Widespread Alu repeat-driven expansion of consensus DR2 retinoic acid response elements during primate evolution.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Use of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more traditional genetic tools (e.g., microsatellites). The explosion of genomic methods and the subsequent creation of large SNP datasets has led to the p...
