There is an error in the eighth sentence of the second paragraph of the Introduction. The number "1,100,000" should instead say "100,000." The correct sentence is: "The human genome contains 100,000 Alu repeats, which represents ∼11% of nuclear DNA [10]." There is an error in the caption for S1 Table.
