Why mitochondrial genes are most often found in nuclei.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2000

Berg O G, Kurland C G

Abstract excerpt

A very small fraction of the proteins required for the propagation and function of mitochondria are coded by their genomes, while nuclear genes code the vast majority. We studied the migration of genes between the two genomes when transfer mechanisms mediate this exchange. We could calculate the influence of differential mutation rates, as well as that of biased transfer rates, on the partitioning of genes...
