Its said that 10-20% of the human genome is composed of Alu sequences. Can you still use it pertaining to population genetics?It seems like it was used in the 80s and 90s, along with other serological testing?
ALU REPEATS AND HUMAN GENOMIC DIVERSITY
Alu sequences are repetitive DNA. Repetitive DNA accounts for at least 20% of the human genome, and has been classified into several different types that include four principal families of interspersed repeats; Alu, Line 1, MIR and MaLR .

Abstract
Alu elements are primate-specific repeats and comprise 11% of the human genome. They have wide-ranging influences on gene expression. Their contribution to genome evolution, gene regulationand disease is reviewed.
