  1. Copy number of the AluYh7 subfamily includes elements with the diagnostic mutations for AluYh9. H = human, C = chimp, G = gorilla, O = orangutan, UN = unknown, Y = yes. Copy number in the gorilla and orangutan genomes is unknown due to the absence of complete genome sequences for these species.
