  • Human geneticist Lynn B. Jorde and colleagues studied parts of the genome containing mobile elements called Alu sequences, which are sections of DNA around 300 base-pairs long that randomly insert themselves into the genome.

  • The Utah team thus had three genomes to work with and looked at ancient elements known as Alu insertions, the youngest class of which appeared in the human genome around a million years ago.

  • Subsequently, 5′ and 3′ splice sites could be generated by mutations or the insertions of a retronuon (a nuon is any definable nucleic acid sequence) carrying such potential splice sites such as Alu sequences

  • Similar events in senescent human cells that have entered crisis could generate translocations by HR between abundant and widely dispersed repetitive sequences, such as Alu elements, which are found near telomeres and can participate in translocation formation by HR

  • Crisis-associated HR may also project instability away from telomeres if it stimulates interactions between dispersed, repetitive sequences such as Alu elements
