Comparison of the SP100-HMG Alu sequences among the five Old World monkey species in this study. The top line is the Alu consensus sequence reported by Batzer et al. [21]. The five species represented are: 1, vervet monkey (C. aethiops); 2, assamese macaque (M. assamensis); 3, rhesus macaque (M. mulatta); 4, olive baboon (P. anubis); and 5, pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina). Nucleotides diagnostic of a Class IV Alu from the scheme of Britten et al. [20] are denoted with an exclamation mark (!), nucleotides diagnostic of an AluY from the nomenclature of Batzer et al. [21] are denoted with a hash (#), deletions are represented by X, and CpG dimers are indicated in bold type.
