The AF9 non-SAR region is from coordinates 71,116 to 75,277 [Ensembl:ENSG00000171843]. The name, class, nucleotide position and length of the predicted repeat elements are shown. The region amplified by the reverse primer (AF9 71,282 R) is from coordinates 71,116 to 71,282 while the region amplified by the forward primer (AF9 74,494 F) is from coordinates 74,494 to 75,277. The amplified non-SAR region contains three repeat elements, namely two CHARLIE5 (at coordinates 74,895–74,998 and 75,006–75,169) and one AluJr (at coordinates 75,192–75,466)
