Table 2. The fraction of edited elements from each major Alu sub-family.
Alu sub-family | Number of ultra-edited ESTsa | Number of DARNED short clusters | Total number in the entire genome |
AluY | 91 (11.2%) | 415 (9.4%) | 143,178 (12.6%) |
AluS | 601 (73.9%) | 2811 (63.6%) | 686,962 (60.1%) |
AluJ | 121 (14.9%) | 1194 (27%) | 312,138 (27.3%) |
Note that the sum of the second column exceeds the number of ultra-edited ESTs because some ESTs overlap with more than one Alu.
