Molecular Poltergeists: Mitochondrial DNA Copies (numts) in Sequenced Nuclear Genomes

The natural transfer of DNA from mitochondria to the nucleus generates nuclear copies of mitochondrial DNA (numts) and is an ongoing evolutionary process, as genome sequences attest. In humans, five different numts cause genetic disease and a dozen human loci are polymorphic for the presence of numt...
