Rates of DNA duplication and mitochondrial DNA insertion in the human genome.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 2003

Bensasson Douda, Feldman Marcus W, Petrov Dmitri A

Abstract excerpt

The hundreds of mitochondrial pseudogenes in the human nuclear genome sequence (numts) constitute an excellent system for studying and dating DNA duplications and insertions. These pseudogenes are associated with many complete mitochondrial genome sequences and through those with a good fossil record. By comparing individual numts with primate and other mammalian mitochondrial genome sequences, we estimate that...
