Nuclear integrations of mitochondrial DNA in primates: inference of associated mutational events.

Abstract excerpt

To infer the possible mutational events taking place along the interorganellar transfer of genetic material from mitochondria to the nucleus, four integrations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the human genome were characterized together with their flanking nuclear sequences. By determining their presence/absence status in different primate species, these integrations were inferred to have occurred on the lineages...
