Fig. 2

Alignment of consensus sequence for Alu subfamilies positioned in the central node of radiating clusters illustrated in Fig. 1. a. Alignment of central subfamilies from Clusters 2, 3, and 4. This alignment shows the accumulation of diagnostic mutations that have occurred over time. Subfamily 41 (Cluster 3) acquired new mutations when compared to Subfamily 32 (Cluster 2), and Subfamily 42 (Cluster 4) shares diagnostic mutations with Subfamily 41 while acquiring additional mutations. b. Alignment of central subfamilies from Clusters 7, 8, and 9 showing a similar acquisition of diagnostic mutations over time. Subfamily 16 (Cluster 8) acquired mutations when compared to Subfamily 3 (Cluster 7), and Subfamily 17 (Cluster 9) continued to acquire mutations when compared to Subfamily 16
