The human genome contains approximately 106 copies of an Alu sequence, one of the best-studied classes of short interspersed elements (SINEs), per haploid genome. Individual Alu units share a 282-nucleotide consensus sequence followed by a 3′-adenine-rich tail region (Schmid, 1998). Given that there are approximately 3 × 109 base pairs per human haploid genome, about how many base pairs are spaced between each Alu sequence?
