Modeling neutral evolution of Alu elements using a branching process

BACKGROUND: Alu elements occupy about eleven percent of the human genome and are still growing in copy numbers. Since Alu elements substantially impact the shape of our genome, there is a need for modeling the amplification, mutation and selection forces of these elements. METHODS: Our proposed theo...
